| Steffen Iversen |
Tottenham Born: 11/10/76 Hometown: Oslo |
| Extremely talented striker who signed for Spurs in December 1996.Gerry Francis decided to sign the Norwegian after some impressive performances for his club and at Under-21 level. Iversen opted to play in the number 18 shirt, made famous by a certain Jurgen Klinsmann.Used mainly from the subs bench in 1997/98, a season wrecked by injury, Iversen fought his way into the starting line-up in 1998/99.Spurs fans didn't see the best of Iversen in 1997/98 mainly because of niggling injuries which raised doubts about his overall fitness. There was particular criticism at Spurs about his inclusion in the Norway squad when he wasn't fully fit. This put his recovery back several weeks.Back to his best towards the end of the 1998/99 season his parrtnership with Les Ferdinand looked to be reaping benefits until injury hit his striking partner. The following season witnessed the Norwegian hitting 17 goals in all competitions and finishing the 1999/2000 season as Spurs leading goalscorer.He is now considered to be a regular in the starting line-up and has at last proved to be the success that was anticipated when he first signed. |
