Pompey fans want bragging rights - Defoe

Former Portsmouth striker Jermain Defoe has some key derby day advice for Pompey players as they prepare to visit Southampton for the South Coast derby on Sunday (12:00 BST).

Defoe boasts extensive derby experience having played in the North London derby for Tottenham Hotspur, the Tyne-Wear derby for Sunderland and the Old Firm derby for Rangers.

"You should get the best version of every player, [you want] bragging rights for the fans and the players," Defoe told BBC Radio Solent.

"It's a one-off game."

Although Defoe didn't play in a South Coast derby having only spent one year at Portsmouth, he has scored derby goals in his career so knows how to prepare for the occasion.

"You have to play the game and prepare like it's any other game," he added.

"I always tried to stay relaxed and play the game not the occasion and then once you've performed and you've won then you can really celebrate.

"[As a] player you find a little bit more, you find extra because of the size of the game, the magnitude of the game."
