Jermain Defoe: My OBE is for Bradley
Footballer Jermain Defoe has dedicated his OBE to Bradley Lowery. Bradley was a mascot at Sunderland before his death last year from a rare form of cancer.
Speaking to 5 live's Dotun Adebayo, Defoe said: "When I got the phone call he was the first person I thought of. It's still fresh, I think about Bradley all the time."
Bournemouth striker Defoe received an OBE for his charity work with the Jermain Defoe Foundation.
