After appearing for Norway in the Euro 2000 finals, Steffen found himself playing in a wide-right role as Les Ferdinand and Sergei Rebrov took the main strikers positions for Spurs in 2000-01.
He featured regularly early on but was then sidelined by a knee injury that required corrective surgery and it was not until the end of February that he returned to first-team action.
He netted with a glancing header in the 3-0 win over Coventry City and also scored a neat goal against Bradford City in April.
Steffen joined Crystal Palace in January 2011 with a contract to June 2012 that was cancelled in January 2012.
