Stevenage has just become the League Two team to support for a lot of people.
That’s because Premier League legend Teddy Sheringham has taken charge of the club as he makes his first foray into the world of management.
Sheringham is beloved among fans of Millwall, Spurs and West Ham but will perhaps best be remembered for his famed equalising goal in the 1999 Champions League final when he forced the ball home in the 91st minute to set up one of the greatest finishes in the history of European football.

But now he will be doing a lot less finishing and a lot more bollocking as he takes the reigns for the first time as a football manager.
Stevenage made it to the League Two play-offs this year but couldn’t make it to the final after falling to Southend and Sheringham replaces the outgoing Graham Westley in the hot seat at Broadhall Way.
After earning 51 caps for England and making over 800 club appearances, Sheringham retired in 2008 at the age of 42 and had been plying his trade as West Ham’s attacking coach over the last year.
We wish him all the luck in his latest endeavour but refuse to ever say his surname without roaring “SHERINGHAAAAM!”
