Football isn't important but it's the most important thing in the world.

Jermaine Defoe is now my most favourite man on the planet.

It is always nice when celebrities like this pair visit and help sick kids.

Well done them.

I still get a bit upset when people refer to poofball as "sport" though. It is better described as the video interface for the gaming industry, an entertainment or simply a money making scheme. It also has something of a record with HMRC.

Kids kicking a ball around in the park is sport, professional football is something entirely different.

Defoe knows this little lad is going to die and he's setting himself up for a lot of heartache. It's a very selfless thing to do.
