With 495 appearances, the vegan striker is about to set a milestone by becoming the 14th player to reach 500 Premier League appearances. One of the most underrated strikers in the history of the Premier League, with over 162 goals, he is the 7th highest goalscorer in Premier League history and is one of the most famous goal poachers of his generation.

At the age of 36, Defoe still doesn't stop performing, but a very little known fact is that the Englishmen has not won a major trophy ever in his career. The only thing that he has to show on his trophy cabinet is the Community Shield runner-up medal.

In 2008, however, he left Tottenham just days before their FA Cup Finals, where Spurs beat Chelsea. Pretty unfortunate for Defoe, as it could have been his first trophy!
