Former Manchester United and
Tottenham striker Teddy
Sheringham has come out of retirement to sign with Kent League side
Beckenham Town in their FA Vase campaign.
The 43-year-old played for Millwall, Spurs and
Manchester United and ended his
career at Colchester last summer.
He will make his comeback against Combined Counties League side
Banstead Athletic on Saturday, 19 September.
The Kent League Premier Division is the ninth tier of English
football and the FA Vase is open for teams in tier eight or
below.
The final of the FA Vase, won last season by Whitley Bay, is
held at Wembley.
Chairman Chris McCarthy - a friend of the former Champions
League winner - has said he is delighted with his new signing.
He told the club website: "We were all thrilled on Saturday that
Teddy took time out to phone at half-time to see how we where
getting on in our Vase tie against Wealden.
"It's a great time for the club and the local football
community."
