 In 1990-91, Teddy Sheringham broke all Millwall's goalscoring records. He
 passed Derek Possee's total of 87 in the league, FA and League Cup with
 a goal againTeddy Sheringhamst Sheffield Wednesday on 26 January 1991 (if Associate and
  Full Members' Cups are counted, then the record 
  went against Leicester City on Boxing Day 1990).
  On 16th February 1991, his four goals against
  Plymouth took him past Possee's record of 79
  League goals. In March 1991, his goal against
  Brighton gave him 99 senior goals overall, beating
  John Calvey's record which had stood since 1905.
  Sheringham came through The Lions youth ranks to
 sign as a professional in January 1984. After being
 on the fringe of the first team, and after loan spell with Aldershot, he began
 1986-87 as a first choice striker, playing in all 50 games to lead the club's
 scorers. He missed only one game in the Second Division championship
 season of 1987-88, when he was again top scorer. He formed an excellent
 playing partnership with Tony Cascarino, who added strength and bustle to
 Sheringham's guile and outstanding ball control.



 
 
 

 In March 1989, Sheringham added and England B caps to his 11 won at
 Youth level. During 1990-91 he proved devastating in front of goal as he
 drove Millwall towards the pay-offs, adding some goals from free kicks to
 his repertoireTeddy Sheringham, and he was voted 'Player of the Year'. He signed for
  Nottingham Forest for around £2m in 1991, after The
  Lions failed to regain top flight status via the play-offs.
  In 1992, he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for
  around the same fee. He stayed at White Hart Lane
  for five years before Manchester Utd signed him for
  £3m from Spurs in 1997. He has also maintained a
  regular presence for England at International level,
  playing in Euro 96 and World Cup 98 and in the 2002
  World Cup squad, appearing in four out England's
  five games. He had the most successful era of his 
 career at United, winning everything there is to win in the game. The F.A
 Cup, Premiership title, League Cup, European Cup and the World Super
 Cup are all honours added to his name whilst playing for Utd. The most 
 memorable would be coming on as a substitute in the European Cup Final
 of 98-99 to score the equaliser and set up the winner for Solskjaer all within
 the space of two minutes.
 In 2001, Sheringham returned to Tottenham and in February 2003 scored 
 his 300th career goal against Sunderland. Later that year he moved to 
 Portsmouth and in 2004, to West Ham, where his scoring is a prolific as
 ever. His tally for the 2004/5 season stands at 18 goals
