We want your messages for Jermain Defoe after the Sunderland striker announced his immediate retirement from football, just weeks after returning to the Stadium of Light.
The 39-year-old featured seven times for the Black Cats since returning to the club after his departure from Rangers, but failed to find the back of the net. Whilst his return has not gone entirely to plan, it won't diminish the strength of feeling that Sunderland fans have towards the striker thanks to his first spell at the club.
Defoe netted 34 goals in 87 matches during his first stint on Wearside - and, during his first 18 months at the club, it felt like he was almost single-handedly keeping them in the Premier League due to his knack of scoring at crucial times.
