Place of birthBrandenburg
NationalityGerman
Weight73 kg

PositionMidfielder

A regular for Tottenham in the early part of the 2000-01 campaign Steffen was sidelined in November with a hamstring problem and although he made a quick return to fitness he then suffered knee ligament damage that brought his season to an early conclusion in April. A strong midfield anchorman he was often forced to play below full match fitness but always gave 100 per cent in every game. He performed a key role holding the midfield together, often forming the first line of defence. He shows tremendous determination when keeping possession and uses the ball intelligently to create opportunities from the centre of the park.

Steffan returned to the Premiership in January 2004 when he signed a contract to the end of the 2003-04 season.
