Jermaine Defoe has spoken about the feelings of the Portsmouth fans relating to his departure from Fratton Road back to the north of London and Tottenham Hotspur.
Defoe said that he never wanted to leave Spurs in the first place.
He had even received death threats from irate Pompey fans when it became clear that he was going to leave for White Hart Lane.
He added that it was the death threats that had sickened him more than anything else had.
However, he did feel sorry for the genuine fans of the club who were disappointed at his departure but the comings and goings of players had become an integral part of football.
