Born in the year of England's 1966 World Cup triumph, Teddy Sheringham expects to make a significant impact in the tournament in France in June/July 1998. For seven years, from 1984 to 1991, Teddy played for unfashionable Millwall in south-east London, scoring over 100 goals under the watchful eye of his first great manager, George Graham. But it was his subsequent transfers to Nottingham Forest (and Brian Clough) and then to Tottenham Hotspur (under Terry Venables) that made him famous and propelled him into the England side. Teddy's move from Forest to Spurs in 1992 is even now the subject of an FA inquiry into the notorious 'bung' allegations surrounding the exchange. Now a star at Europe's most glamorous club, Manchester United, Teddy is playing for yet another great manager to have recognised his talents - Alex Ferguson. A linchpin of that side and for the international team managed by Glen Hoddle, Teddy Sheringham's own story is a tale of at least five great managers - and one great player.
