Great memories, but he'll be back. What sets Ole apart from other players is his professionalism. When he scored 4 goals against Everton, the next week at West Ham, he was back on the bench. He didn't moan, didn't go to the papers and bitch, he just accepted the bosses decision. Top bloke, top player and a proper legend. Ole > Shearer

still remember that interview he gave on MUTV when he retired, he was almost holding back the tears at one point. that season, i was just happy to see him on pitch, running and looking healthy. n when he scored that goal (CL i think it was), it was just turning back the years...

thanks for the memories Sir Ole...

Top top photos. Cheers 20Legend!
My favorite occasion was the 1999 Champions final league v Bayern when we went up 2-1 with seconds to play.

But my fondest personal moment was the crushing goal v liverpool at OT 1999 FA Cup, followed possibly by his first goal back from injury.

Scott, could we have a competition for Ole's finest goal?

Another thing that sets him apart is I have NEVER heard a rival fan give him anything but praise.

Still really sad at this. Ole was one of the lads who knew he would never see better than United. Never wanted anything else. Bet he sheds a tear the first home game that only gets 5000 fans. Still, hope he can turn Molde around and get them a few championships.

@King Eric, I am sure that Jamie Redkapp would be saying he wasn't United quality. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ....

@willierednut

Absolutely mate. Ole is pure class. The pro par excellence.

@FletchTheMan

That Liverpool game was sensational. That was the springboard to the Treble IMHO. After that our momentum was almost unstoppable. It was like the first roll of a snowball on the way to becoming an avalanche.

But I think personally my favourite Solskjaer moments have to be the last man tackle against Newcastle and the comeback goal against Charlton. Taking that red card for the team just showed what a team player Ole was and the way he bowed in front of the crowd after scoring against Charlton in 2006 was heartwarming. It was what we'd been waiting for, for years...

I think Solskjaer personifies the values that United players should aspire to and that the fans admire. He's humble, he's professional, he's smart, he's dedicated, he's loyal, he's passionate, he's talented and he always, always gave every game everything he had until the final whistle blew. No hassle over money. No crying about sitting on the bench. If he was able to play he would play if asked, or not, and it was never an issue for him.

I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on Molde FK while he's in charge, see what they get up to.

Well whats the odd that we'll be in closer connection with molde now?
I can see the start of a super relationship between the two clubs
united will loan out all our promising talent to ole at Molde so they can gain valuable 1st team experience and in the process help ole out by giving him good players to work with, while we'll have 1st dips on any rising stars at his new club.. win win i think.

@United4eva,
Thanks for the reminder of the comeback game. That is the one I was alluding to in my post but just couldn't recall the opposition. Scoring against Charlton after so many years of injury trouble. Personally hope Hargo does finally give us another of these moments. But for me Ole's comeback was very very special indeed.

@Costas @ 19.21 I think he is older than 14 mate.Just my opinion.
I tell you though in no uncertain terms he is always smiling to me.
Pure undiluted class. 100%

Ah, some great memories in these pictures. He had it all - the talent, the intelligence, the right temperament, the loyaltiy - a complete player. Ole, thanks for every goal you scored, every game you won, and best of luck at Molde.

When we needed a goal, look to the bench.
He will be sorely missed.

Had the pleasure of meeting him once, genuinely nice bloke. Never forget the goals against Bayern and Liverpool.

Then you compare this legend to Rooney the money grabbing fucker. Just shows how football has evolved for the worse.

Thank you Ole!
We''ll follow you back to Old Trafford.

Exactly. Solskjaer humbly appreciated being given the opportunity to play, to score, to win games for Manchester United, for us.
