Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tribute - Part 1

Tribute to a Manchester United legend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær (born February 26, 1973 in Kristiansund, Møre og Romsdal) is a Norwegian former footballer who spent the vast majority of his career playing for Manchester United. He is the current Manchester United Reserve team manager. He played 366 times for the Red Devils and scored 126 goals during a very successful period for the club. He was also part of the 1999 Treble winning Team, scoring the decisive last-minute goal in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Before he moved to England, Solskjær completed a year's national service in the Norwegian army,[1] and played part time for Third Division Norwegian Clausenengen F.K., later moving to Norwegian Premier League Molde F.K. in 1994. He joined United on 29 July 1996, for a transfer fee of £1.5m. He is a patron of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (formerly Shareholders United).

Solskjær was renowned for his tendency to score goals late in the game, often handing Manchester United a draw or win from the brink of defeat. The most famous example of this came in injury time of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final against Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

On 27 August 2007, Solskjær announced his retirement from football after failing to recover from a serious knee injury.[2] However, Solskjær remained at Old Trafford in a coaching role, as well as in an ambassadorial capacity. On 20 May 2008, Solskjær was announced as Manchester United's first full-time Reserve team manager since 2006, taking over from Brian McClair and Jimmy Ryan, who had filled the role in a caretaker capacity.

In November 2007 Solskjær was made a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav by King Harald V of Norway.[3] He is to be presented with the award in a later ceremony in his hometown of Kristiansund. Solskjær is the youngest ever recipient of the knighthood, usually bestowed upon notable members of society in their later years.

This babyfaced assassin scored so many last minute goals and winning goals it's amazing. The way he read the play and always positioned himself correctly. Lethal striker from any position.
