WATCH: Jermain Defoe describes emotion of Bradley Lowery visit: ‘He just wanted a cuddle’

"Obviously, it fills you with tears, but you can't show your emotions as he is only young."

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe has admitted that he struggled to contain his tears during a hospital visit with five-year-old Bradley Lowery.

Bradley, who has terminal cancer, was visited in hospital last week by Jermain Defoe, Vito Mannone, John O’Shea and Sebastian Larsson.
