Teddy Sheringham

“I love the big games. That's what you play football for.”

“You need a bit of arrogance to be a top-class forward. You need to believe you're going to score.”

“People have said I'm not the quickest, I'm not the strongest, I'm not the best in the air, but I've always thought: 'That's not the point'.”

“Scoring goals is the best feeling in the world. It doesn't matter what level you're at.”

“When you're a footballer, you're in a bubble. You don't really know what's going on in the real world.”

“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”

“I've always had a determination to prove people wrong. If people say I can't do something, it makes me want to do it even more.”

“It was just one of those things. It was a fairytale ending and it was a great way to go.”

“The manager has to be the most important person at the football club.”

“You have to have belief in your own ability.”

“Age is not an issue. It's about how you look after yourself.”
