I remember all of those goals so fondly. I particularly remember celebrating in The Trent End after the diving header for the Arsenal goal. I owe Sheringham a lot. I used to back him to score first every week which often paid out?

Great player. Really fitted in well with Nigel Clough. ?

Clough and Sheringham. Not the quickest pair over 10 yards but both had lightening quick football brains

What do we think?
Despite the fact that Sheringham only spent a short time at Nottingham Forest, it is clear from the fans’ comments that he is remembered extremely fondly at the club.
In total, the former England striker scored 14 league goals for Forest, in addition to a further two goals in the FA Cup and five in the League Cup, according to Soccerbase.
As such, his time at Forest was very successful, which goes a long way to explaining the positive impression he left at the City Ground.
