Why do I love golf so much? I analysed my life 10 years ago afer finishing playing football and you could tell I was getting agitated because of the lack of competition, Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham tells golf journalist Chris Bertram. If I haven’t competed in anything for maybe three days I become very agitated. If I haven’t had a game of tennis or a game of cards - I used to play a lot of poker - even 12 hours feels a long time without some competition. Competitiveness is what it’s about.

I’m obsessed by golf now in the same way as I was obsessed by football as a 12-year-old wanting to be a professional. That’s all I wanted to do, all I thought about and all I dreamed about. I want to get better at golf and see where it can take me even though I am 55 now.

I probably watch more golf on TV than I do football. Football is on every night and I pick the big games to watch whereas I can’t get enough golf. I didn’t have lessons for about five years but I’ve just started having lessons with a guy who also played in the Legends Tour finale at Belle Mare Plage in Mauritius, Chris Baron at West Essex. I started seeing him about five months ago, just to try and put me right and he’s been very helpful.
