Teddy Sheringham

The striker also won the inaugural Golden Boot in 1992/93, beginning the campaign with an opening-weekend goal for Nottingham Forest before moving to Tottenham Hotspur.
He struck 97 league goals in two spells at Spurs either side of his stint at Old Trafford, before finishing his PL career with stints at Portsmouth and West Ham United.

What they said
