West Ham United: Players to watch - Teddy Sheringham

Teddy Sheringham (West Ham United)




At 38, you could reasonably assume that this is Teddy Sheringham's final season as a professional footballer.

But the former England striker is keen to end on a high, and he will use all his experience to make sure the Hammers end the season back in the Premiership.

Sheringham may not play every minute of every league game, but when he does play there will be no-one to match his touch and invention in the division.

West Ham are desperate to go up and Sheringham could prove the catalyst.

Sheringham will do great for West Ham. He is a solid pro despite his age.

He had a successful run over at Newcastle upon his trade from ManU. Surprised that Newcastle traded him to a first division club.

Newcastle?

He went from Man U to Tottenham and then Portsmouth.

And yes he did have a great run at Tottenham.

He is a very good player and has a good footballing brain.

Sheringham scores his first goal in claret and blue. He guided West Ham to a 1-0 victory over Reading for the first win of the season.

Alan Pardew paid tribute to Teddy Sheringham after the former England man scored twice to fire an injury-hit West Ham side to victory at Crewe.

huh? Newcastle he never went there he was at my beloved Pompey last season.

how has he been doing at West Ham? is he getting his games and doing well?

He has played every game so far i think and has 5 goals in 7 games.

Not bad for a 38 year old...

that was one of the things about sheringham, he wasnt the fastest player, but he had a good football brain. such as where to go and finding space. good to hear him doing well

Yeha his goal today was a freekick and it took a slight deflection but hey they all count.

He has been great over the years wherever he has played. He just reads the game so well and sometimes other players are not on the same wavelenght as him. We just need Harewood to click with him as his pace and the way Sheringham plays they will get alot of goals....

i dont know much about harewood but hopefully they click, you need west ham in the premiership, i think most neautrals think that.

remember when he was at man utd, it was known him and cole didnt get along. but when they played together they did well so hes a great profesional. and as you say, his reading of the game is excellent

good to see you back posting TRD

Cheers!! :party-smiley-018:

Thinking about it i can't decide where he has played his best football....

Millwall would be last on the list i guess but he has been quality at Man U, Spurs and now West Ham...

i didnt know he played for milwill, must have been before my time hehe

i remember when he was at spurs, the signed klinsmann and it was such a huge deal. every1 was like wow lol.

i think his finest moment though was winning the champions league with man utd

Yeah Millwall was where he started out his career...

Ohhh way back in the 80's...

He went to Nottingham Forest for a huge sum in 1991 from Millwall, i think it was about 2 million. The following year 1992 is when Tottenham signed him for 2.1 million. Then he went to Man U in 2000 or 2001 for over 3 million. I'm sure he went back to Tottenham for nothing when he had his second spell with them(which was nice of Fergie lol)....The last two clubs as ya know is Portsmouth and now West Ham..

The b'stard never did that for us last season he only scored about 7 or 8 the whole season!

West Ham manager Alan Pardew revealed match winner Teddy Sheringham had broken the tradition of an entire career by deciding to start this 1-0 victory over Wolves on the bench.

7 goals now...:party-smiley-018:

I shouldnt forget that 1st Div is easier than the Prem. Then again we had Yak on 19 goals last term anyway

When you say easier, what do ya mean?

I think it's more physical than the prem as alot of the prem players are nancy boys....

I made a mistake earlier he got his 7th goal the other day against Stoke. It looks like he may have picked up a slight injury and might miss the next two games....
