Advantages: Prolific Goal Scorers
Disadvantages: getting on a bit
Teddy joined Man U from Tottenham Hotspur in the close season of 1997 for £3.5million, a snip don't you think. He immediately added a new dimension to the Manchester United attack with his subtle skills, intelligent passing, control and heading ability. His first team chances have been limited but he found glory in the 1998/99 treble winning season: first, by scoring the opening the goal in the FA Cup Final barely a minute after coming on as a sub; and secondly, with the 90th minute equaliser and then the flick header which set up Solskjaers winner in the Champions League final a few days later. He has been a consistent performer in his time with United, scoring many valuable goals, and signed an extension to his contract in May 2000. It now seems likely that he will see out the end of his career at Old Trafford. He is well known for his excellent heading ability and of course the Sherringham Corner where the ball is driven to the near post and Teddy comes across and volleys it. This season at Old Trafford Teddy has been the most prolific United striker, he has scored numerous goals many of them winners and extremely important to the team and their effort. Unfortunately he recently got injured and he hasn't shown quite the form he did before his injury. Here are his stats: DOB:02/04/66 Place of Birth:Highams Park, Essex Height:6'1" Weight:12st.8lb United appearances:68(+42 as sub) United Goals:25 England International A great player, deserved his England place. Manchester born Wes Brown is one of the latest crop of exciting young player to come from the Old Trafford youth set-ups. With the wealth of defensive talent already at United, Wes Brown struggled to get in 1st team despite his talent. He got his big chance with the unfortunate injury of Ronny Johnsen. He is an unbelievable prospect for the future not just for United but for England aswell. He is an excellent marker,
heads the ball well, passes, tackles. He's almost a complete centre back! He got his first international cap for England against Hungary in Budapest on 28th April 1998 after only 12 appearances in the first team. Wes is also very versatile, he can fit in at right back as well as his more common position of centre back. In the Champions League this season he has formed a formidable partnership with Jaap Stam and together have only conceded 3 goals in the second group stages. Not a bad record! The question is will Ronny Johnsen regain his position at centre back? Here are his stats: DOB: 13 October 1979 Place of Birth: Manchester Height: 6'1" Weight:11st. 11lb United appearances: 17 (+6 as sub) United Goals: 2 England International

- 02/01/02 I think that Sheringham is now playing some of the best football of his career, and I do mourn his passing from Old Trafford.
I think that from a point of view of being Lazy Andrew Cole absolutely took the biscuit and I'm very glad to see the back of him.
Give Yorkie a few games alongside Van Nistleroy and I think that we may just take the league again this year.
Brown will be a great but he has got to build up his confidence alongside a wise old head....I'm not sure that Blanc is the right old head.
Luke Chadwick is brilliant (and he makes the Nevilles look pretty). We should nurture his talent.
He has Ole's great ability to come on late and put so much enery into the attacking play.
Sheringham has to make the squad for the World Cup, if only to give England more diverse options should the play go against us. |

- 17/07/01 teddy sheringham is a useless lazy waste of space and i'm glad we've finally got him of the wage bill.
wesley is a great atlent though if only he can get more consistency |

- 20/03/01 fairly good op tho sheringham wasnt immediately successful as it took until the game against Juventus in 1999 at Old Trafford for him to finally make his mark by turning the game when we were down 1-0 to keep the treble bid alive. |
