Manchester United's Teddy Sheringham celebrates after scoring the equaliser during the UEFA Champions Cup final soccer match at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona in this Wednesday May 26, 1999 file photo. Former England striker Sheringham will retire from soccer at the end of the season and end a 24-year playing career remarkable for its longevity and late blossoming. Even though Sheringham, who is midway through a season with Colchester in the second-tier League Championship, was 33 before he won a major title, he will leave with three Premier League medals and one each from the FA Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. The 41-year-old forward played 51 times for England and had two stints with Tottenham, but was most famous for scoring a late equalizer and then setting up the winner in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final.
