TEDDY SHERINGHAM scored in Manchester United's dramatic comeback in the 1999 Champions League final.<\/p>\n

Goals by him and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in stoppage time against Bayern Munich sealed the Treble for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Sheringham's place in the United history books is forever secure after his four iconic years at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The striker also played for Millwall, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, Portsmouth and West Ham during his lengthy career. <\/p>\n

But back when he was at The Den, Sheringham, 57, had a son named Charlie.<\/p>\n

He went on to follow in his father's footsteps and become a professional footballer.<\/p>\n

Charlie was on the books of both Millwall and Spurs like his dad as a teenager and he won the FA Youth Cup with Ipswich in 2005. <\/p>\n

Many believed he could be on the correct path to challenge the reputation of his 51-timed England capped father.<\/p>\n

Charlie soon caught the attention of Crystal Palace but never made a senior appearance at the club.<\/p>\n

After failing to make an impact at Selhurst Park, the striker dropped into non-league and signed for Cambridge City.<\/p>\n

The following campaign he was Welling United's top scorer in the sixth tier with 26 goals.<\/p>\n

Sheringham again netted for fun in non-league with Bishop's Stortford, Histon and Dartford over the next few seasons.<\/p>\n

His impressive performances caught the eye of then League One side Bournemouth and he penned an 18-month contract on the south coast.<\/p>\n

He played six times and scored once before he suffered a severe foot injury.<\/p>\n

Surgery was needed and he struggled to continue his climb up the football league afterwards.<\/p>\n

A journeyman career followed and he ended up pulling on the shirt of 17 different clubs.<\/p>\n

Spells with AFC Wimbledon, Salisbury City, Ebbsfleet United, Hemel Hempstead all came before a shock transfer to Bangladeshi outfit Saif Sporting Club in 2017.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old spend half a season in Asia and helped them qualify for the AFC Cup, which is the continent's equivalent of the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Sheringham returned to England and enjoyed a second brief stint with Hemel Hempstead.<\/p>\n

He soon joined Leatherhead and Chelmsford City before returning Dartford in 2022 for a fourth spell at the club.<\/p>\n

He is still playing in the National League South now.<\/p>\n

Dartford currently sit 12th in the table and they narrowly missed out on promotion last season via the play-offs.<\/p>\n
