Steffen Iversen

[jimmyriggle]

One of our players who got a lot of stick and still does arguably because of his injury problems and the fact that he played for us during a frustrating period during the late 90's/early 2000's when we were pretty average to poor. Possibly there was a certain degree of expectation as he joined and was dubbed 'the man to replace Klinsmann' after playing in the Champions League for Rosenborg who beat AC Milan so he got hyped a lot.

Personally as I was 10/11 and just getting into football and Spurs around this time, I was a fan of Iversen. When he was fit and on form and along with the respective stints of Sheringham and Ginola, thought he was one of the better players for us amongst a lot of mediocrity.
Scored as many as Adebayor did in his best season. Also got a couple of memorable hat tricks for us, anyone remember Sunderland away?

Also:

Scored the winner in the Carling Cup Semi Final vs Wimbledon
