Edward Paul Sheringham (born 2 April 1966) is an Englishfootballmanager and former player. He played as aforward, mostly as asecond striker, in a 24-year professional career.[1] Sheringham was part of the Manchester United team that won thetreble of thePremier League,FA Cup andUEFA Champions League in1999. He scored the equalising goal and provided the assist for the club's winning goal in the1999 UEFA Champions League final againstBayern Munich that sealed it, with both goals coming in injury time of the second half.
Sheringham began his career atMillwall, where he scored 111 goals between 1983 and 1991, and is the club's secondall-time leading scorer. He left to joinFirst DivisionNottingham Forest. A year later, Sheringham scored Forest's first ever Premier League goal,[2] and was signed byTottenham Hotspur. After five seasons at Spurs, Sheringham joinedManchester United where he won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the UEFA Champions League, theIntercontinental Cup and theFA Charity Shield. In 2001, he was named both thePFA Players' Player of the Year andFWA Footballer of the Year.
After leaving Manchester United at the end of the2000–01 season, Sheringham re-joined Tottenham Hotspur, where he was a losing finalist in the2001–02 Football League Cup. He spent one season at newly promotedPortsmouth, scoring the club's first Premier League goal,[3] before joiningWest Ham United, where he helped the club gain promotion from the2004–05 Football League Championship. The following season, Sheringham appeared for West Ham in the2006 FA Cup final, becoming the third-oldest player to appear in anFA Cup final.[4]
Sheringham is currently the thirteenth-highest goalscorer in the history of the Premier League with146 goals, and is the competition's 34th-highest appearance maker.[5] He holds therecord as the oldest outfield player to appear in a Premier League match (40 years, 272 days)[6] and the oldest player to score in a Premier League match (40 years, 268 days).[7] He wascapped 51 times for theEngland national team, scoring 11 times, and played in the1998 and2002FIFA World Cups, as well as the1996 UEFA European Championship. He retired from competitive football at the end of the2007–08 season withColchester United, at the age of 42. He has since managedLeague Two clubStevenage, andATK of theIndian Super League.
Sheringham began his professional career atMillwall in 1982 at the age of 16, after impressing a scout when playing for non-league clubLeytonstone & Ilford during a youth team game against Millwall. He was signed up, initially as an apprentice and scored on only his second appearance for the club in a match away atBournemouth in January 1984. After being loaned out by the club twice in 1985 toAldershot and later a Swedish side,Djurgården, he quickly became a first choice selection at Millwall and during the late 1980s formed a striking partnership withTony Cascarino. He was the club's top goalscorer in four seasons (1986–87, 1987–88, 1988–89 and 1990–91) and played in every game of the season twice, in 1986–87 and 1990–91.[8]
The1987–88 season saw the club promoted to theFirst Division, then the highest tier ofEnglish league football, for the first time. Sheringham scored the first goal in Millwall's first home game in Division One. Millwall briefly topped the table at the start of October 1988 and the goals of Sheringham (15) and Cascarino (15) kept Millwall in the top four for most of the season before fading afterEaster to finish in 10th position. Sheringham said in his autobiography: "It was a crazy exhilarating time. There we were, little Millwall, in our first season in the First Division and topping the table until about March. Everybody said it couldn't last and of course it couldn't and it didn't, but we gave them all a good run for their money. We were beating the best teams when we shouldn't and getting away draws to which we had no right."[10][11]
Millwall's spell in the top flight was not to last as they were relegated in the following season, finishing bottom of the Division after briefly topping the table again early in the season. Sheringham was again top scorer for Millwall with twelve goals, having missed ten league games through injury.[12] The club had an opportunity to bounce straight back up at the end of the1990–91 season, reaching the semi-finals of the Division Two play-offs, but they were beaten byBrighton & Hove Albion and remained in the Second Division. Sheringham's outstanding form during the1990–91 season saw him finish as the league's highest scorer with 37 goals, a haul which included fourhat-tricks. With Millwall failing to return to the top flight, a departure for Sheringham looked inevitable.[13] In his final season at Millwall, Sheringham broke all of the club's goalscoring records, scoring a total of 111 goals in all competitions in his eight years at the club. He was Millwall'sall-time leading scorer until 2009.[14]
The 25-year-old Sheringham was sold toNottingham Forest in a£2 million deal in July 1991,[15] to play alongsideNigel Clough. He did well for Forest and helped them finish eighth in the First Division at the end of the1991–92 season, as well as to reach theLeague Cup final, where they lost toManchester United. Sheringham scored Forest's firstPremier League goal, againstLiverpool, in August 1992 (which was also the first ever live goal shown onSky Sports) but a week later he was sold toTottenham Hotspur for £2.1 million.[15] Forest went on to be relegated in1992–93, in part due to having failed to adequately replace Sheringham in attack.
Sheringham had a successful start to his career at the club by being thePremier League's top goalscorer in itsinaugural season, scoring 22 goals (21 with Tottenham and one with Forest).[15] His strike partners at White Hart Lane includedGordon Durie,Ronny Rosenthal,Jürgen Klinsmann and finallyChris Armstrong. In the1993–94 season, he was Tottenham's top scorer with 14 Premier League goals but played in just 19 games due to injury and this impacted negatively on Tottenham's league form. Spurs finished 15th and were not completely safe from relegation until the penultimate game of the season.
Thefollowing season was better, as he helped Spurs finish seventh in the Premier League and reach the semi-final of theFA Cup, just missing out on European football for the1995–96 season.
Jürgen Klinsmann, who partnered Sheringham during the1994–95 season, was later quoted as claiming that Sheringham was the most intelligent strike partner he had ever had.[16]
Sheringham was hugely popular with the Tottenham fans and by the mid-1990s was firmly established as one of the most highly rated strikers in the Premier League. However, despite his prolific strike rate by the end of the1996–97 season, he was 31 years old and had yet to win a major trophy in a career which had so far spanned 15 years; many pundits considered him past his best and likely to finish his career without major honours.
In June 1997, Sheringham agreed to join Manchester United in a £3.5 million deal.[17] There was a significant gap upfront following the unexpected early retirement ofEric Cantona. His first competitive game for the club was againstChelsea in the1997 FA Charity Shield which United won on penalties. His first league outing was against his former employers, Tottenham, atWhite Hart Lane. Throughout the game, Sheringham suffered jeers and boos from his former fans, who had been angered by the fact that Sheringham had accused Tottenham of lacking ambition when he made his transfer. In the 60th minute with the score at 0–0, Sheringham missed apenalty, although ended up on the winning side as two late goals gave United the win.
Sheringham scored 14 goals in all competitions and formed a good partnership with Andy Cole but the1997–98 season ended without the league title. Towards the end of the season, during a game atBolton Wanderers, an incident occurred that furthered the animosity with fellow strikerAndy Cole. When Bolton scored, Sheringham blamed Cole, his strike partner and Cole then refused to talk to him. The breakdown in their relationship was never resolved, and reputedly they never spoke again.[18] This had started three years previously in 1995 when Sheringham had snubbed Cole as the latter came on to make his international debut.[19]
Speculation that Sheringham would leave United increased just after the1998–99 season got underway, whenDwight Yorke moved to Old Trafford fromAston Villa. Yorke immediately formed a prolific partnership with Cole as United went on to regain theleague title on the final day of the season. Sheringham's first-team chances were relatively limited but he still managed to make enough appearances to qualify for a championship medal at the end of the season – at the age of 33 he had won his first major trophy. A week later he came off the substitutes bench to score United's opening goal in a 2–0 defeat ofNewcastle United in theFA Cup final to secure thedouble.[20] Four days after the FA Cup triumph, Sheringham scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser againstBayern Munich in theChampions Leaguefinal, having come on as a substitute earlier in the game. With seconds of stoppage-time remaining,Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored from Sheringham's headed flick-on, and United won atreble of the Premier League, FA Cup and European Cup with Sheringham – having not won a major honour in his 15-year career – now having won every top-level trophy in the English game.[21]
Sheringham's first-team chances remained limited during the1999–2000 season, but he still played enough times to merit another Premier League title medal. In the2000–01 season, United secured a third consecutive league title, with Sheringham top-scoring for United and playing some of the best football of his career.[22] In April 2001, he was voted Footballer of the Year by both theProfessional Footballers' Association andFootball Writers' Association.[23][24] His fine form ensured that he was still involved with the national side despite being in his 35th year, being named in the squad for the2002 World Cup.
At the end of the 2000–01 season, Sheringham's four-year contract at Old Trafford expired. He was facing stiffer competition than ever for the places up front, most of all from United's new Dutch strikerRuud van Nistelrooy. He refused United's offer of a 12-month contract[25] and returned to Tottenham on a free transfer as one of new managerGlenn Hoddle's first signings.[26] In his first season back, Sheringham helped Tottenham to a ninth-place finish, the club's highest in six years, and to reach theLeague Cup final where they lost 2–1 toBlackburn Rovers, with Sheringham being brought down in the penalty area in the last minute for what he believed to be a penalty.[27]2002–03 brought a similar mid table finish, although Tottenham had topped the Premier League three games into the season. Sheringham made 80 appearances in all competitions for Tottenham in this period, scoring 26 goals.[28]
Sheringham was inducted into theTottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame alongsideClive Allen on 8 May 2008.[29]
On the expiry of his Tottenham contract at the end of the 2002–03 season, Tottenham decided not to offer Sheringham a new contract[30] and he joinedPortsmouth in their first season in the Premier League.[31] Sheringham became the oldest Premier League player to score a hat-trick when he scored three against Bolton early in the season.[32] Despite this, he was only contracted to the club for one season and, despite scoring in his final game (a 5–1 win victory overMiddlesbrough with the club already secure in the top flight),[33] at the end of the2003–04 season, Portsmouth decided not to offer the 38-year-old striker another contract but he insisted that he wanted to continue his top flight career at another club.[34] Sheringham made 38 appearances for Portsmouth, scoring ten goals.[15]
Sheringham then dropped down a division to theChampionship to sign forWest Ham United,[35] the club he supported as a boy.[36] Sheringham was the division's third-highest scorer in the 2004–05 season with 20 goals (21 in all competitions) – one of the highest goalscoring seasons of his career. He won the Championship Player of the Season award,[37] and helped theHammers reach the2005 Football League Championship play-off final where they beatPreston North End at theMillennium Stadium to return to thePremier League after two seasons in thesecond tier. At the end of the2004–05 season, Sheringham's one-year contract expired and both he and West Ham agreed to a one-year extension prior to the start of the new season.[38] With his second-half appearance againstCharlton Athletic on 2 April 2006, Sheringham became one of just five players to have played top-flight football while in their 40s; joining the likes ofLes Sealey,John Burridge,Gordon Strachan and laterRyan Giggs.[39] On 19 August 2006, he became the oldest outfield player in the history of the division, at 40 years 139 days.[40] Sheringham signed a contract to play for West Ham until the end of the2006–07 season,[41] and was a player at the club after his 41st birthday. On 13 May 2006, Sheringham became the third oldest player to appear in anFA Cup final, at 40 years and 41 days old. The game ended 3–3, withLiverpool winning the trophy in apenalty shootout. Sheringham was the only West Ham player to convert his kick as Liverpool won the shootout 3–1. On 26 December 2006, at the age of 40 years and 266 days, he beat his own record for oldest Premier League scorer, with the goal in a 2–1 defeat to Portsmouth.[42] On 30 December 2006, he broke the record for oldest Premier League outfield player once more, playing in the 1–0 defeat againstManchester City, aged 40 years and 270 days.[43] Sheringham also appeared in 11FA Cup,League Cup, andUEFA Cup games for West Ham, scoring two goals.
After being released by West Ham, Sheringham signed forColchester United in July 2007 and was given the number 8 shirt.[44] He started Colchester's first game of the season, away atSheffield United,[45] and scored the first goal in a 2–2 home draw againstBarnsley a week later.[46] 7 days later he scored again, in a 3–0 win at Preston North End.[47] Having just served a three match suspension after being sent off against Coventry, Sheringham was once again amongst the scorers in Colchester's 2–1 win atHillsborough overSheffield Wednesday.[48] He scored his fourth and final Colchester goal in a 3–1FA Cup defeat toPeterborough United on 5 January 2008.[49] Sheringham made only 3 league appearances in 2008, the last of which came againstStoke City on 26 April 2008, the last game atLayer Road.[50]
Whilst at Colchester, Sheringham was the oldest player in all four divisions of the Football League, and is now part of the elite list of players who have achieved more than 700 league appearances in their career. He retired at the end of the2007–08 season, his career ending on a low note as Colchester were relegated from theChampionship – the club's first relegation for 18 years.[51]
Something of a late developer on the international scene, Sheringham did not win his firstEngland cap until the age of 27 in 1993. Under the reign of managerTerry Venables (1994–96) Sheringham came to be the preferred strike partner forAlan Shearer. During this time, England had a wealth of strikers with the likes ofAndy Cole,Ian Wright, a youngRobbie Fowler andLes Ferdinand all battling to partner Shearer in the England team.[52][53]
The two formed a famous partnership at international level, as they complemented each other's strengths: Shearer the out-and-out goalscorer, big, strong and powerful, Sheringham just 'dropping off' his strike partner, finding spaces, creating play and providing key passes, forming the link between Shearer and the England midfield. The pairing came to be known as 'The SAS' ('Shearer and Sheringham') and their most successful time together came inEuro 96, held in England. Their most famous contribution was in the 4–1 victory over theNetherlands, a game in the opening group stages in which they both scored twice against one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Though England were eventually knocked out in the semi-finals, many believed that that squad of players such as Sheringham and his contemporaries includingPaul Gascoigne,Steve McManaman,Tony Adams andPaul Ince, had done the nation proud. At this time, the England squad were also criticised heavily in the media for their part in several off the field incidents during the lead up to the tournament, where Sheringham, McManaman and Gascoigne were photographed drinking heavily and playing "dentist chair" drinking games as well as destroying the first class cabin of aCathay Pacific flight which went down poorly with the public.[54][55]
Sheringham continued to be a first choice selection under new England managerGlenn Hoddle (1996–99) until the emergence of new teenage superstarMichael Owen during the course of 1998 saw him overshadowed. Although Sheringham began the1998 FIFA World Cup as a starting player with Owen on the bench, after Owen replaced him and almost turned around a defeat againstRomania in England's second game of the tournament, it seemed likely that Sheringham's front line international career had come to an end.[citation needed]
He was not selected at all forUEFA Euro 2000 by then managerKevin Keegan, but the retirement of Shearer (despite being four years younger than Sheringham) from international football after that tournament and the arrival of new managerSven-Göran Eriksson in 2001 saw a return to international favour for him. He was often deployed as a tactical substitute late in games by Eriksson, valued for his ability to hold the ball up and create intelligent play. In 2001, Sheringham scored an important goal for England againstGreece in a World Cup qualifying match within 15 seconds of coming on as a substitute, although this event is overshadowed by the 93rd minute equalising free-kick byDavid Beckham.[56]
He was selected as part of Eriksson's2002 FIFA World Cup squad after impressing throughout the 2001–02 season with his club, and played in the famous 1–0 win againstArgentina, almost scoring a goal with a volley that was well saved by the Argentine goalkeeper, and made his final England appearance as a substitute in the 2–1 quarter-final defeat toBrazil in Japan. His twelve appearances for Eriksson were all as a substitute.[57]
At the age of 36, that defeat signalled the final end of Sheringham's international career, during which he had earned fifty-one caps and scored eleven times forEngland.[citation needed]
A versatileforward, Sheringham was capable of playing as astriker and also as asupporting forward, courtesy of his ability both to score and create goals.[58] Due to his vision, his ability to read the game, and his short passing ability, Sheringham was capable of playing off another striker, in a deeper, creative role, where he served as an assist provider, in particular in later years, as he lost pace and stamina.[58][59][60][61] He also possessed good technical ability and upper body strength, which allowed him to retain possession in the box and hold up the ball when playing with his back to goal, and subsequently lay it off to his teammates.[61][62][63] As acentre-forward in his prime, he was also very effective and extremely prolific, due to his accurate finishing, opportunism in the area, intelligence, and his ability in the air, which enabled him to be regarded as one of the top Premier League forwards of his generation.[59][64]
Upon his retirement from professional football in 2008, Sheringham has been a noticeable figure on the worldpoker scene,[65] playing in various competitions worldwide. In 2010, he made the final table in the €5,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event in theEPTVilamoura, finishing 5th out of a field of 384 players, winning €93,121.[66]
In May 2014, Sheringham was appointed as anattacking coach with West Ham United.[67] He was credited with a change in West Ham's style of play which led to a run of good form at the start of the 2014–15 season, earning strikerDiafra Sakho thePremier League Player of the Month award for October 2014.[68]
On 21 May 2015, Sheringham was appointed to his first managerial role, taking charge ofLeague Two sideStevenage, replacingGraham Westley.[69] With the club struggling with injuries, he registered himself as a player, aged 49, for aHerts Senior Cup match againstWelwyn Garden City in November of that year, but did not play.[70] He was sacked on 1 February 2016, with the club 19th in the league having collected only three points from their previous eight matches.[71]
On 14 July 2017, Sheringham was named as the new head coach ofIndian Super League clubATK.[72] On 24 January 2018, Sheringham was sacked by ATK after winning only three of his ten games in charge of theKolkata-based outfit.[73]
Sheringham's sonCharlie, born in 1988, also became a professional footballer. The two made the FA Cup third round draw together in December 2013.[74] Sheringham has two more children with Kristina Andriotis, whom he married in 2016.[75] Earlier in his life, he dated modelsDanielle Lloyd andKatie Price.[76]
Since 2005, Sheringham has resided inSewardstonebury,Essex, just north of the border between Essex andWaltham Forest. He named his houseNou Camp in reference to the stadium that hosted the1999 UEFA Champions League Final, stating "I had a house built in 2005 and at the end, when it was finished, it was the perfect house, so I called it Camp Nou after that fantastic night."[77][78]
In 2007, Sheringham was awarded anMBE at that year'sBirthday Honours for services to football.[79][80]
In 2020, Sheringham competed on thefirst British series ofThe Masked Singer, masked as "Tree".[81]
