DEFOE DEFIES HIS AGE.

Sorry to tease you about promising more about the Hungarians. But tomorrow, if Sunderland's Jermain Defoe scores against Hull City on Saturday, not only will he be helping his club to gain a point or three possibly, but he will also reach 150 Premier League goals. Defoe has played for West Ham, Tottenham, and Portsmouth in the Premier League previously, as he gradually moves towards this notable landmark. If he succeeds he will be 7th equal in the all time scorers list (so far).
So the question is...... name the other players who have scored 150+ Premier League goals. The answers are on the link but have a go first. There are 7.

Van Persie is on 144, 11th in the list.
The only present PL player anywhere near these totals is Sergio Aguero on 110 and he is 19th in the list of all scorers. Peter Crouch comes next with 95 goals in 29th place. Daniel Sturridge is 52nd in the list with 69 goals. Lukaku, Walcott and Giroud are somewhere in the top 60 or so.

Les Ferdinand, before he retired, made it to 149 goals playing for 6 clubs and Teddy Sheringham 147 with 5 clubs.

Rooney is 2nd behind Ryan Giggs in most PL assists. Fabregas is 4th in PL assists but way down in goals scored with only 43! So unselfish Fab.
