On August 2nd 2008, Old Trafford will pay tribute to one of the greatest legend ever to grace it's pitch : Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ole will officially retire as a legend at Manchester United with a testimonial match held at Old Trafford. It's going to be both a great and a sad day for Manchester United fans. Because we are going to say goodbye for the player that won the treble in 1999 but at the same time we will remember of what a great player we had.
Ole, unlike any other United stars, is the most beloved player by the fans to this date. Cantona amazes us, Roy Keane made us respect him, Ronaldo entertains us, but nobody is as warm and as close to the fans than Ole. He is our "everyday hero", he is the guy that shut his mouth and does his talking on the pitch, he never once made a hassle or trouble. He is a the "people's hero" of Old Trafford.
But Ole's admirer are not coming from the Manchester United side alone. Outside Old Trafford, people respect him for his sportsmanship and behavior. I never once heard or read Ole being accused of diving or foul playing. He is a footballer, a role-model footballer for young pros...
Ole made some memorable performance for Manchester United that the fans will never forget. He once scored 4 goals in 3 minutes on an 8-1 trashing of Nottingham Forest, and who can forget his last minute winning goal that won us the treble in 1999 ?
So many things that can be talked about the legend. On our next eZine, it's going to be a special edition dedicated to Old Trafford's most beloved player : Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
