I thought he retired about 8 years ago

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

When Solskjaer scored...

i was in a bar in a small town in Brittany. It was packed. Three of us were encouraging** ManU (me, the bar owner and, Clare, my girlfriend)... The rest of the crowd were principally French with half a dozen Germans. When
Solskjaer scored... when Solskjaer scored...   Clare, who never swears, was yelling "I don't %&&^% believe it".  Me and bar owner were jumping up and down and trying to hug each other.....   The rest of the bar, perhaps fifty people, were in silence and just staring at us... 



** No idea why!
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

That guy was a legend

no different from the much maligned Winston Bogarde.  Spent his entire career sitting on the bench, instead of going to another club and play every week.
 
Scored some goals (loads off the bench in 4-0 wins, after coming on at 3-0) and 1 important goal, but lets not get carried away.  I mean, legend????????  Come on!  Duncan Edwards can be called a legend - career ended after dying in a plane crash - but I don't belive that Ole Gunnar can.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite

he did come of the bench once and get 4!, v Notts forest i think (which dates it a bit!!)
 
agreed not a legend (that would be Waggy!!!)   but a pretty cool finisher, sort of Greavesy style 
 
and if you are going to score a winner in injury time, that one particular game wouldn't be a bad situation to do it in!

It does seem ridiculous that someone who still looks like they are 14 is actually retiring... TheJam2007-09-01 00:50:30
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.

Your legend may be Dave Wagstaff, but mine is John Chiedozie, ez Os, Spurs and Notts C.
Which makes me sadder cos Chiedozie now owns a bouncy castle hire company.

Did well for someone who was allergic to grass, have to say (even as Liverpool fan which he supposedly was too) he was a good player as a striker and as a right midfielder filling in for Beckham.
