Timothy Alan "Tim" Sherwood (born 6 February 1969) is an English former professional footballer who is currently the manager of Tottenham Hotspur

As a player he was a midfielder from 1987 until 2005, he was notably the captain of Blackburn Rovers' Premiership title-winning side in 1995. He also played for Watford, Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth and Coventry City. He also made three appearances for the England national team.

Club career

Born in St Albans, Hertfordshire,[1] Sherwood made his debut for Watford against Sheffield Wednesday on 12 September 1987. 31 more league appearances followed in Division Two. He moved to Norwich City in July 1989 and notched up a total of 88 games and 13 goals in Norwich colours before joining Blackburn Rovers in February 1992.[2]

As one of Kenny Dalglish's first signings for Blackburn, he initially struggled to make the first team but became an integral part of Dalglish's big spending Rovers side on account of his tireless grafting. He quickly became a fan favourite as was fondly known as Tim "The Grafter" Sherwood. Under The Grafter's captaincy, Blackburn finished second in the Premiership in 1993–94 before winning it the following season. At this point it was a surprise that he did not gain international recognition, adding only an England B cap to the England Under 21 honours he picked up whilst at Norwich.

During his time at the club Dalglish had wanted to sign both Zinedine Zidane and Christophe Dugarry who were playing in France for FC Girondins de Bordeaux, however Rovers owner Jack Walker reportedly said to Dalglish: "Why do you want to sign Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?"[3]

With Sherwood unsettled in 1999 and having family and business links in Hertfordshire, George Graham paid a reported fee of £3million to bring him to Tottenham Hotspur in the first week of February 1999. He made his debut for Spurs as an 87th minute substitute for Mauricio Taricco in the 0–0 draw with Coventry on 6 February 1999. Sherwood won a runners-up medal with Spurs in the 2002 League Cup Final, ironically being beaten by his old club Blackburn.

In January 2003, Sherwood informed the press that he had had a major argument with Spurs manager Glenn Hoddle and that Hoddle had told him that he would never play for the club again. He left Tottenham, moving to Portsmouth on an initial four-month contract on 29 January 2003. Upon signing he immediately became a regular in the side that went on to win the First Division Championship that season, scoring once in the process against Millwall.[4] Sherwood remained an important member of the Pompey squad for the first half of the 2003/04 Premiership season, scoring a brace against Northampton in the League Cup,[5] before breaking his leg against Tottenham on 26 December 2003. It was to be his last match for the club as, along with fellow veteran Teddy Sheringham, he was released in the 2004 close season.

Sherwood signed for Peter Reid's Coventry City on 9 July 2004 and vowed to win his third promotion to the Premiership.[6] Coventry were not promoted, and at the end of the season announced that Tim could leave on a free transfer. He parted company with the Sky Blues by mutual consent on 1 July 2005.

International career

Sherwood made an impressive début at the age of 30 for England in their 3–1 victory over Poland at Wembley on 27 March 1999, his debut being handed to him by new England manager Kevin Keegan. However, Sherwood only made a total of 3 full England appearances.

Tottenham Hotspur

On 27 October 2008, Sherwood was reported to be considering a job offer as a coach with Tottenham Hotspur by new manager Harry Redknapp. He took up the offer and joined the Spurs coaching staff on 31 October 2008.[7] On 16 December 2013, Tottenham Hotspur announced that Sherwood would "assume first team coaching duties", following the departure of Andre Villas Boas as the manager. He lost his first game in charge, 2-1 at home to West Ham in the fifth round of the 2013–14 Capital One Cup.[8] His first win in charge of Tottenham came in a 3-2 Premier League win over Southampton on 22nd December 2013, which was the second game played under Sherwood. [9] On 23rd December 2013, Tottenham named Sherwood as manager until the end of the 2014-15 season.
