Teddy Sheringham

The new Atletico Kolkata boss has played for both Manchester United and Tottenham and it was during his stint at Old Trafford that he won the European Cup in 1999.

It was in 1997 that Sheringham left Spurs for a £3.5 million fee, after forging an impressive strike-partnership with Jurgen Klinsmann at White Hart Lane. United though, brought him in to replace the retired Eric Cantona and while Sheringham was around 31 when he joined, he always came up with vital goals for the club from Greater Manchester.

Remarkably so, the Englishman is also famously known for scoring United’s first goal against Bayern Munich in the historic, dramatic European Cup final of 1999.

As ironic as it sounds, Sheringham left United and rejoined Tottenham on a free transfer following the expiration of his Old Trafford contract.
