Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Gutted. My favorite player won't pull the shirt on again. :-(
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football His superb class will be missed.. Good luck with your managerial future Ole!!
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Wearing my Ole kit around campus today... Only heard the news from a friend last night and I'm devestated but so happy to have been able to see him play for his whole time with United. 235 matches, 126 goals for us. And how many of those were off the bench...
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Great video! I still get chills up and down my spine when I watch him score that final goal in '99.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Just heard the news... I'm in the computer lab at school and I actually have tears welling up. Absolute legend. I'm completely gutted over this. Wish I could be at OT this weekend.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Thank you Ole. An absolute legend and wonderful player. I will never forget his contributions to United throughout his time here. Very sad day
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Always one of my favorites and not just because of Barcelona, but simply because he was just a classy player but, more importantly, one who almost always seemed to just take sheer joy in playing the game. I'm sure someone else posted in this thread -- and I posted somewhere else: The game needs more Ole Sunnar Solskjaers. Thank you Ole!
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Still cant belive hes gone! His interview is on Granada alledgedly but ive not seen it - He has tears in his eyes by all accounts. Cant wait to give him a proper send off on Satdee at leats hes staying on coaching so we'll not see the last of him OLE OLE OLE OLE!
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football He stated that it wasn't a sad day, because he knew he had done everything he could to fulfill his potential on the pitch, and after that, there's nothing more you can do. He also said that his biggest motivation these past few years when he had been plagued with injury, was to recover so that his son would get to see him on the pitch. He then went on to say that his biggest moment as a footballer was last season when we beat Newcastle 2 - 0, when he saw his son standing and cheering for his goal.(caf)
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Ole . All i can say is this if Old Trafford is called the Theatre Of Dreams, then you've been a 11 year long dream that came to end, for many who didn't want to wake up. So friend just as many legends in the club, have booked there place in the theatre, I'm sure you'll have the best seat in the house The Stretford End. I'm sure as many of us here if you ever want a seat not that you need it, you can have mine mate. 20legend
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Not that you need it but put a little extra in it for me. Hopefully they show his send off on TV here... I'm sure I'll have tears.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Nice that you'll get to go, alfie. Give a shout for all of us. If possible, I'm going to try and make his testimonial, but I doubt there'll be a ticket going at a reasonable rate.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football I regret not having him around for some of the younger players who desperately need to learn about loyalty and class.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Not to mention intelligent movement and clinical finishing.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football As someone who is not especially fond of ManUtd, I can say without a doubt that Solskjaer was my favorite player for that team and a great player in general. So many players of his quality could have bitched and moaned about their role, but he was pure class. I wish him the best,and as others said: We need more guys like Solskjaer in the game.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football I only changed my avatar in order to show respect to Ole, but I actually really like it now
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Right, I'd much rather have him play alongside them. It's an entirely other experience. I hope he can still continue to bring his influence through coaching, and in the future, who knows what else.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football It saddens me to see all these old-timers slip away one by one. Ole was definitely one of my favorites. So sad to see him retire, he will always be remembered.
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football Well we still have Giggs, Neville, and Scholes of the old boys. Although Ole didn't come in with the class of 92 through the ranks, he still is one of "those" guys in my mind. Ran with the best for over a decade and did it in spectacular fashion. The Newcastle tackle, the goal against Lpool in 99, scoring 30 in one season in all comps, 4 against Forest in 10 minutes, and his overall intelligence was astounding. Even if he hadn't turned the ball into the net that night in Barcelona, he would have been a club legend. Didn't hurt that he did though
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football How do you get your avatar as big as some of you have it?
Re: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Retires From Football We're more special than you..... Easy way is to upload the image in imageshack and set it to be an avatar size. Likewise you could manually do it in Paint.
