Teddy Sheringham is widely regarded as a Tottenham Hotspur legend.
He had two spells at the club: first from 1992 to 1997, where he became a standout performer in the early Premier League era, and then a return from 2001 to 2003. Across both periods, he made around 236 appearances in league play (with totals varying slightly by source, but often cited at 277 games including cups) and scored approximately 97–125 goals depending on the competition breakdown—making him one of the club’s most prolific forwards in the modern era.
Key highlights of his Tottenham legacy include:
Winning the Premier League Golden Boot (top scorer) in the inaugural 1992–93 season with 22 goals (21 for Spurs after his move from Nottingham Forest).
Forming memorable partnerships, notably with Jürgen Klinsmann.
Earning huge popularity among fans for his intelligence, technique, goal-scoring consistency, and leadership (he even captained the side during his second spell).
In official recognition, Sheringham was inducted into the Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame in 2008 (alongside Clive Allen), a clear marker of his legendary status at the club. Media outlets, fan discussions, and Tottenham-related content frequently refer to him as a “Spurs legend,” and he’s often ranked among the club’s greatest players of the Premier League era.
While he achieved his biggest trophy successes at Manchester United (including the 1999 treble), his longest top-flight stint and most appearances/goals came at Tottenham, and that’s where he’s most fondly remembered by many supporters.
