Teddy to become wizard of Oz?


West Ham striker Teddy Sheringham could be on his way to Australia to play in the Hyundai A-League.
Queensland Roar chief executive Lawrence Oudendyk and coach Miron Bleiberg have admitted that they have been in contact with the ex-England marksman.


Sheringham's former Manchester United strike partner Dwight Yorke recently signed for another of the new league's clubs - Sydney FC.

And it has emerged that the 39-year-old and the Queensland outfit have been negotiating for the past three months.

Bleiberg told the club's website: 'He is one of the best known forwards in the English game and would give us an old head in what is a very young squad.

'We are looking for a target man and English players are best known for their ability to play in this role.'

However, Bleiberg did admit that the cost of taking a player of Sheringham's stature to Australia could pose problems.

He added: 'The fact is that players in England can still command large salaries even in the lower divisions over there.

'We can get a South American player for a fraction of the cost and that has to be a major consideration for us.

'We are looking for a special player but we do not want to break our pay structure in the process as we have a salary cap that we have to stick to.'

That'd be good for the league, he's a bit old but still he'd bring in some crowds.

Sheddy Terringham... I though he was retired already...

Dwight Yorke in Australia??? He's even better than Teddy...

So are you Aussies planning to bring Solskjaer, Henning Berg, the Neville brothers and teh rest of ol' Man U down under?
