Former Manchester United Footballer, Everton Captain, England International, England Women’s Head Coach & Inter Miami Manager

Teddy Sheringham is one of the Premier League’s most prolific strikers, remembered for his intelligence on the pitch and his ability to perform in decisive moments. A key figure in Manchester United’s famous 1999 Champions League Final victory, he cemented his place in football history with a last-minute equaliser before assisting the winning goal. Over a professional career spanning more than two decades, Teddy represented clubs across the top flight and earned over 50 caps for England, becoming a revered figure in both domestic and international football.

Credentials and Impact

Teddy began his career at Millwall, where he scored 93 goals in 220 appearances and established himself as the club’s second-highest all-time goalscorer. His move to Nottingham Forest in 1991 brought the accolade of scoring the club’s first Premier League goal. Shortly after, he joined Tottenham Hotspur, where he became the league’s top scorer in his debut season and built a reputation as one of the most intelligent forwards of his era. Teddy’s time at Manchester United brought his first major silverware, and he played a vital role in the club’s treble-winning season of 1998–99.

Later in his career, he continued to defy expectations, becoming the oldest outfield player and goalscorer in the Premier League. His international career with England saw him earn 51 caps, scoring 11 goals and forming a celebrated strike partnership with Alan Shearer. Inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame, Teddy’s longevity and achievements showcase a remarkable journey at the highest level of the game.
