Teddy Sheringham has announced that he will retire from football at the end of the season.
The former England international, who is best remembered for spells at Spurs and Manchester United, is currently playing for Colchester in the Championship.
Sheringham won 51 England caps and played a key part in Manchester United's 1999 European Cup win, when he scored a late equaliser.
But Sheringham, 41, who joined Colchester after being released from West Ham at the end of last season, has decided to call time on his career.

TOTTENHAM 2 CHELSEA 1
Spurs game from behind to beat Chelsea in extra time and win the Carling Cup at Wembley.
Jonathon Woodgate scored the winner three minutes into extra time.
Jermaine Jenas whipped in a free kick from the left, and Petr Cech could only punch the ball onto Woodgate's head and into the net.
Chelsea had taken the lead against the run of play in the first half, the returning Didier Drogba smashing a free kick past the poorly positioned Paul Robinson in the Tottenham goal.
But Spurs looked the better side throughout and deservedly equalised with 20 minutes left.
Wayne Bridge handled in the box and Dimitar Berbatov kept his cool, giving Cech the eyes and sending the ball into the bottom left hand corner.
After Woodgate's first goal for the club early in extra time, the England man and the returning, inspirational Spurs captain Ledly King stood firm to hold off Chelsea and seal Tottenham's first trophy for nearly a decade.

KEEGAN'S RETURN - INSPIRATION OR INSANITY?
Kevin Keegan's return to Newcastle has shocked the footballing world and raised expectations for a return to the days of entertaining football enjoyed in his first spell.
Newcastle under Keegan were ambitious and gave it a go. They blew their chance to take the title away from Man United - but they gave it a go and that is the Keegan philosophy.
His return to St. James ended in a poor scoreless draw against Bolton, and Keegan will need to spend big to transform a Newcastle team that has played appalling football at times this season.
The fans are full of ambition and passion and there can be no doubt that so is the management. Arthur Cox has joined Keegan's backroom staff and is already of talking of aiming for a top six finish this season and challenging the top four in 2008/2009.
Keegan's reign may not guarentee success, but the fans will expect it to deliver entertainment sooner rather than later.
Perhaps then they will have the patience to enable any manager to build a team over a course of several seasons.
With Keegan in talks to be joined by Alan Shearer to form a dream team at the Toon - it should be an exciting time for everyone associated with the club.
