could be wrong but i can't remember him being out for any long stretch before his major injury, by which point he'd already sealed his United Legend status, so you can't blame the club for keeping him on their books and showing hope and faith that he could return, if United would have tried to offload him there would have been an outcry from the fans anyway and rightly so...Originally Posted by Frank Dogshit
Ole is a legend for all the reasons kai and microdot have already pointed out and many more also...
i hope the 20legend banner hangs from the Stretford End for all eternity...

bottom line is Solskjær is a legend in the eyes of most true football fans (not just reds) not just because of his ability (possibly the best finisher the prem's ever seen), but because of his attitude to the game.
Ole is a legend in the same way Gary Speed, Alasandro Del Piero, Paul Scholes etc are legends. they've never fukked around, holding their clubs to ransom over wages (like Gerrard, Ferdinand, Keane (though still a legend for other reasons), Lampard etc) or done anything off the pitch to embarrass themselves, their clubs or their fans.
Basically, Ole is a rarity in the modern game. An honest footballer.
That alone doesn't make him a legend, but combined with some historical football moments (4 goals in 10 minutes off the bench vs Forest, last minute winners vs Munich and the vermin in 99), all add up to tick all the boxes necessary to give a player legendary status.
anyone who doesn't acknowlege Ole as a bonafide legend is a know nothing fukkwit, end of.

there's no doubting ole's talent, united fans dont just hold anyone in legendary status, imo he IS up there with cantona, keane and the like, a true united legend.
what's more legendary than winning them the CL in the dying mins?
i wish him great luck in whatever he does in the future, seems a genuine nice bloke, even though he only looks 14 :cheese:lol the trance has gone
