He won the Premier League title three times during his career, before leaving his final top-flight side West Ham United to join Colchester, in 2007.

The former Manchester United and Spurs forward played the last professional game of his glittering career in Colchester's penultimate match of the 2007-08 Championship season against Stoke City, the final match to ever be played at Layer Road.

It brought the curtain down on a career spanning a quarter of a century and more than 900 league and cup appearances.
