I love going into the centre of London because people don't give a monkey's about you or who you are. You can be in a restaurant and no one notices you or if they do they won't show it.

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. Sheringham had won the free kick scored by Beckham and had even suggested to the England captain that he take it as Beckham had missed several already in the match but Beckham decided to take the kick himself. At the age of thirty-six that defeat signalled the final end of Sheringham's international career during which he had earned fifty-one caps and scored eleven times for England.

He was awarded an MBE in June 2007. Edward Paul "Teddy" Sheringham MBE (born 2 April 1966) is a retired English footballer and the father of footballer Charlie Sheringham. He retired from competitive football at the end of the 2007–08 season with Colchester United at the age of 42 after a career lasting 25 years.
