Do you have a premium account?

Nope. I have to pay to make my avatar larger than a lima bean?

Yeah lol but you get other perks like no ads, widescreen view and you're always first in line to get in the site if the server gets clogged.

I thought Avatars were only for those who paid, period.

No, you can have one to, but it will just be smaller, like a lima bean

Here's a practical tribute:

If OGS were 27 again, Man Utd would have 3 wins and a draw, tied for 1st in the PL.

That's the saddest part for me. He was about to become our regular right sided midfielder - he got 16 goals playing alot from the right wing, and was so good that Beckham was marginalized. Yet right then he was struck down with those horrid injuries. Yet it's a testament to his perseverance that he stuck it out, came back and score 11 last year with an EPL medal.

yes sad that he was robbed of more years of glory with us by injury. Our site has his honors listed as Community Shield 1996 and 2003 but why not 2007? because he wasnt in the squad?? can anyone confirm if he got a medal or not?.

makes me feel even worse for Dyer now. he's probably spent half his damn career injured

i cant even imagine another player wearing #20 :( like i said before if it was retired i doubt anyone would argue

I can't confirm as I haven't seen any reports on it but would be 99.99% sure that he wouldn't have got one.

[Holy__Joe]

I'd pay for the site if it was a one off but its a bit steep imo. This was some good news, sorry if its already been posted

"However, the man famously nicknamed 'the baby-faced assassin', will remain at United in a coaching capacity and will continue to represent the club as an official ambassador"

[Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10]

here are two Ole sigs i have maybe others might want to share more

From Red News:


rumours are that he will be doing some form of speech and possible lap of honour about 15 mins before kick off on Sat


FSC better start showing the game a little earlier.

[sdotsom]

Has anybody got a link to the interview he did - I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

"In terms of goals scored, is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the best substitute in English football history?" asks Peter Brown.

He's certainly the best in Premiership history. (What do you mean football didn't begin in 1992? Pass the muesli.) Solskjaer has scored 17 league goals after coming off the bench, which puts him comfortably clear of Jermain Defoe, Kanu, Andy Cole and Tore Andre Flo, each of whom have 13. In all competitions, Solskjaer scored 29 of his 126 United goals from the bench. His first goal for United, in August 1996, came six minutes after he was introduced in a home match against Blackburn; spookily, his last goal for the club also came six minutes after he had come off the bench at home to Blackburn.

In 99 When I was really young (9 years old) and didn't really understand football, when ever I watched United I remember always being amazing how Ole (Tho at the time I could never remember how to pronounce his full name) was always scoring after being subbed on.

Amazing player, he will be missed. Always loved his clinical finishing.
Great team player who stuck with Man Utd, and gotta give respect to SAF for sticking with him, even with all those injuries. His goals/min-on-pitch has gotta be one of the best ever. He seemed to score every game he played. I know its an exaggeration, but he was always finding the net.

[MtP07]

One of my favorite players ever. I'm so glad I got the chance to see him play (and score) in person last year.
