'Supersub' Solskjaer calls time on career - Independent Online Edition > Premiership

A sad but inevitable day for a true Manchester United legend. The saddest part of his career for me, is as that article suggests, he had established that right side of midfield position for himself just before that injury struck him. When you think about that, it tells you what a fighter he was, for even though Beckham was definitely on his way out of the club, Ole was playing ahead of him on merit. That was some achievement, whilst Beckham was never as good as the hype, he was still some player, who was as good a crosser of the ball as there was in football. And yet Solskjaer as well as getting the goals you expected from him, was now putting in centres at the time that were at least the equal of Beckham. And how we missed him, when the injury nightmare hit him during that spell from 2003 -2006.
Of course Solskjaer was the only player to come out and say what all the fans were thinking about the Glazer takeover, and that from a boyhood Liverpool fan. What a pity we don't have more footballers who are prepared to have an opinion, instead of just keeping their snouts in the trough.
But we will remember him best for the goals, the last minute winner against the scousers in the treble season, the four goals against forest after coming on for the last ten minutes as a sub and of course that beautiful beautiful moment in the nou camp when he made all our dreams come true.

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER = LEGEND
