Sunderland veteran Defoe: Goal No150 had me buzzing

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is full of pride over his 150 Premier League goals.

Defoe's 150th followed a solo dribble during last weekend's 3-0 victory over Hull.

"I was buzzing, I didn't need to go out, I watched my goal on Match of the Day with my family," he told the Daily Mail.

"I recorded it and watched it again the next morning. Then I watched it on Goals on Sunday. Then I watched it on Match of the Day 2. I sometimes sit there and I have to pinch myself. "I remember going back to my West Ham days and I was moaning sometimes at Glenn Roeder (the manager) because I wanted to play, but I was young. He said, 'Don't worry, you are going to score loads of goals in the Premier League'.

"But to score 150, it's mad."
