Defoe & Deeney Football Firsts: First Touch
Jermain and Troy are talking about players with the best and worst first touch: who had a foot like a pillow and whose touch was baggy?
In this episode Jermain and Troy are paying homage to the technicians: the players with the best first touch in men’s football. They discuss their favourites from back in the day and from the modern era. Who did JD always want in his 5-a-side team at Spurs and which midfield maestro has big legs but arms like biscuits?
They also reminisce over how they improved their first touch as kids, how a video of Manchester United’s treble-winning season helped Troy’s development and reveal the players whose first touch was honking.
