Sheringham back for Hammers

West Ham brought back veteran striker Teddy Sheringham for the home match against West Brom.

The former England striker was manager Alan Pardew’s only change from the side that lost 2-0 at Liverpool last weekend with Davd Bellion dropping to the bench.

Albion boss Bryan Robson tore into his players after their 3-0 home defeat by Newcastle last Sunday, and three of the men who started that match were left out.

Riccardo Scimeca, Darren Moore and Darren Carter were omitted as striker Diomansy Kamara and defender Martin Albrechtsen returned from injury and midfielder Ronnie Wallwork was also brought back.

Last time West Brom played at Upton Park in the old Division One two years ago, they were 3-0 down after 18 minutes but recovered to win 4-3.
