Jermain Defoe and Bradley Lowery have been inseparable for the last few months

Jermain Defoe opened up on his ‘special’ relationship with Bradley Lowery, the six-year-old Sunderland fan who has worked his way into the hearts of football fans everywhere for his brave battle against terminal cancer.

Lowery formed a close bond with Defoe over the course of the 2016/17 Premier League season, one of the few highlights at the Stadium of Light during a poor footballing season from the Black Cats.
