Former Tottenham star, Jermain Defoe, has actually recalled his encounter with ex-England employer, Fabio Capello

. Defoe admitted the ‘no-nonsense’ Italian employer when scared him, informing him to ‘get out and go to supper.’

Defoe was informing talkSPORT all about what it was like playing together with some of the greatest names in football.

“Anyway, so I can’t remember who we were betting, however the team was at the Grove Hotel. I keep in mind sitting in the space, we had a meeting at 7pm, supper’s at 8pm,” Defoe told talkSPORT.

“But he ended up calling the conference at 6:45 pm and I didn’t know. So I’ve come down– this is Fabio Capello, everyone’s terrified of him anyway– so I’m strolling down, I’m outside the conference room and everyone’s coming out.

“I thought ‘No’. My heart’s started beating. It was like I was at school, everyone’s leaving and I was flustered, I was puzzled. So I walked in and I resembled ‘Boss, I’m sorry.’ …

“‘Sorry?’, he stated, ‘What time do you believe this is? It’s unacceptable. When you choose supper with your family do you make them wait?’.

“I said ‘No manager’, he said ‘Get out and go to dinner’. I walked out like a little kid and I never ever let it take place again …

“The boys were chuckling, and Ashley Young said to me ‘JD, I was late also, I can be found in right before you’.”
