Ole you Beauty !!!

Football is a sport of finesse and insanity coupled in an irresistible brew. This entry of mine is a tribute to one of the most uncanny talents ever to have walked on the pitch. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not look like a striker and he exudes a very quiet and impish aura about him every time he collects a pass. But the Baby Face Assassin is a footballer par excellence. Right from shooting from absolutely impossible angles to an exquisite first touch inside the D box Ole has it all. He began as a right winger at Manchester United as a replacement for an injured David Beckham and quiclkly established himself as a tremendous crosser of the ball. But Ole finally got into into his own an instinctive striker scoring goals for United. His name will always be associated with possibly the greatest moment in the history of Manchester United. A goal scored in the 93rd minute of the match followed by the immortal words "And Solskjaer has done it ... Manchester United have reached Promised Land"; these are images that are brimming with all the romance that sport represents. But apart from the obvious football prowess the one thing that makes one fall in love with this shy Norwegian is his complete commitment towards everything that Manchester United stands for. Players like Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs. Paul Scholes and Eric Cantona represent the true essence of this great club with every breath they take. Sir Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is right up there.

Adieu 2OLEGEND. Old Trafford is poorer without you.
