Former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United striker Teddy Sherringham could be about to return to playing football at the age of 49.

Sherringham retired in 2008, but has registered as a player for Stevenage, the side he is currently managing.

Sherringham may make an appearance in his side's upcoming Herts Senior Challenge Cup match against Welwyn Garden City on Wednesday.

Sherringham's 41-year-old assistant at Stevenage Kevin Watson is also registered as a player and could also feature in the match.
