Bro, you misspelled "Career". Literally unwatchable 😑

One important point you missed out is his stats on scored goals per minutes, that shows he was incredible efficient!!

I don't know if Ole was the best bench player of all time, but it was definitely the best one Manchester United ever had. Indeed to my knowledge, Ole invented the concept of a bench player being capable of winning Championships and Cups. Back in the day if a player was not a regular 1st team starter most fans hardly knew his name.

There are persistent rumours that he can go ballistic just like The former Boss, while in public he is the quintessential nice guy, yet under the surface his steely resolve and uncompromising determination make him an immortal in Manchester United lore... And a damn better manager than he gets credit for!

I played against him when he was a young player (18-19-20 yrs old). He was lively, enthusiastic, good shot from all angles. Played for his club Clausenenga i Kristiansund before going professional. Allways scoring a lot of goals in third-level football in norway. Was also a leader in young age. Around the age of 21 going to Molde he surprised people how he took the level straight away and became a hit from the start at top level with Molde FK.

The fact that he is basically two-footed should have been mentioned

Scoring a goal on average every 153 minutes were 0 of them were on penalties. These are insane stats. He also played other positions in a lot of the games.

I remember that back in the Treble season, I was working for an ad agency in Manchester that had United as one of its clients. I'd be called upon to promote the museum, executive boxes and retail side of the business. The United fans had a song then that went "You are my Solksjaer, my Ole Solksjaer/ You make me happy, when skies are grey/ Cause Alan Shearer was fucking dearer/ Please don't take my Solksjaer away". I was asked to record a radio ad in a studio in Stockport that featured this song, but the third line was changed by United to "Cause when it's pouring, he still keeps scoring". I'm still ashamed of my involvement in that to this day. But anyway, "And Solksjaer has done it" is still the absolute peak. Unless the grey-haired assassin has other ideas.

Ole is a legend. As a player 9/10, as a Striker 8/10 and as a Manager I hope we will end up rating him the same as Sir Alex. He is a good lad.

The ultimate impact sub! The scorer of the most important goal in Utd history in that '99 CL final. Also winner of the "Best Worst Tackle Ever" for that tackle on Rob Lee. LEGEND!!!

To be effective off the bench you need to read the game as it unfolds. Ole was so good at that as a player and the current United strikers especially the younger ones can learn a thing or two from his positioning in the 6 yard box. The abuse he gets from the so-called supporters is too much imo. Sure he makes mistakes but it does not warrant that level of disrespect.

He's an absolute legend. He was a nightmare for defenders.

I've been a UNITED faithful since I first watched them play in 1997. I loved Ole back then.., I loved him through his career and I definitely love him now as manager. I don't care how long it takes to bring trophies back but our United DNA is back... Fully behind him and I believe he will make us proud sooner than later. It's always in every United faithful...JUST BELIEVE!

Your channel is basically playing out my childhood as a Man United fan living about 10 minutes away from Old Trafford. Take my subscription XD

What made him so good as a substitute was the way he would watch the way the game was being played and analyse what the defence was doing and spot weaknesses before ruthlessly exploiting them.

When a commentator just says "nothing new he scores again " thats all you need to know.

Youd feel a goal was coming whenever he came on. Very few players can genuinely claim to be able to do that

Those were happier times at Man U. If Ole had some players with his skill, dedication & mentality, he'd STILL be in charge.

I died when u said the ole tackle was a unfair red card lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂

I can still remember to this day sitting in my bedroom as an 11 year old watching the champions league final. I've never felt pure joy watching football before or since all thanks to the legend that is the baby faced assassin.

Extreme game intelligence that allowed him to read the game (often from the bench) which made him a very good positional player, always ending up in positions where the ball would mysteriously land at his feet. Very, very good finisher with both legs and superb technique allowed him to get quick shots on target before defenders and the GK could react. Loyal to the team, manager and fans. In todays sport maybe underrated, but Ole knew that every minute he got he had to be the best he could be and if he did that he was just as important as the players that regularly got full games. The injuries to Solskjaer is perhaps the main reason why he didn't end up playing more than he did, but he did everything that was asked of him as a club icon and legend.

He absolutely deserves his 20LEGENEND status. He was a player who played his part in the team to the Fullest, and like you said, always had a smile on his face. He'll always have a place in my heart ❤

The production value on these is brilliant

Ole is a legend, not for padded stats but for the difference he made. Whenever he was on the pitch he was dangerous and in big games he always turned up. He loved united as a player, as a youth coach, as a manager elsewhere and as the manager. The reason united fans love him is because he would give everything as a player and delivered so many brilliant moments, like the 98/99 fa cup and champions league goals as well as all the games he helped us win in the prem that season. It's so good to have him back, I can't wait to see him lift another trophy for united.

Great narrative skills, well put together video, really enjoyed it. Solskjaer deserves his place in our great history, we will forever be grateful for his tangible massive impact as a player, wish him all the best in his managerial career, hope he takes us back to our perch, which I strongly believe he will. Come on United!!!

thanks for the memories FI in my humble opinion the graetest sub of all time and might i add the best manager we have had since sir alex. keep up the good work mate thanks again

Didn't always score but nearly always hit the target. His efficiency in front of goal was great. He'll always be a legend for that champions league final.

Can you do one on Denis Irwin? (For Roy Keane's sake)👀

Great video again. His positional awareness was incredible.

Ole was 1 of a kind of a player & not just for his knack for coming off the bench and scoring goals, but also for the way he conducted himself with Man Utd. Not once did you ever complain about been sat on the bench as a sub and he knew it was more about the squad rather than individuals. He turned Spurs down knowing he would have been a first-team regular had he gone there and I always remember watching the 99 CL final and him getting interviewed after the game saying "People always asked me why didn't I go to another team and play more regular. This is the reason I didn't go anywhere". A true professional and there never has and never will be a player like him. Never underrated nor underappreciated by any true football fan. Great video. 94 Ajax team video would be nice sometime, please.

Great video dude. I loved it when the super sub came out during extra time and within seconds boom!! the winning goal. What a legend. A pleasure to watch.

I just love these videos man, so elaborate, and especially love when you include statistics

In Ole we trust🙌🏽

Great content! Looking forward to more.

He was a match winner plain and simple.

This was the most perfect career summary of Ole that I've watched! Thanks mate. 😁 #ggmu

Great video! Keep the brilliant content coming!

The treble winning goal still sends shivers down my spine. Incredible moment.

So glad to have found this channel. Fantastic video for anyone who missed Solksjaer's playing career to know what their current manager is all about. The red card tackle against Newcastle when the title was on the line(7:15) was an underrated highlight.

The quality on these videos are amazing keep up the good work!

My childhood hero. I was always very proud to have the same name as him. I lived 50 meters from a very beautiful fotball field in Norway called greibanen. I think in 1999 or something the Norwegian football team had a practise there. So many people stormed him for an autograph and i was to little to get close. But there was one moment I'll never forget when he saw me walking towards the buss. He walked out of it cause he saw me standing alone with my ball wating for him, but the entire buss of the Norwegian team started shouting at him so he turned :D

Watched all your videos bro. Nice to see the all the players i used to love watching growing up. Keep up the good work.

I don't usually last through the entirety of videos like this, so you have earned my sub. Very good video.

great vid, very informative, thanks!!!

Ole is the best since Sir Alex. Great personality. Loves ManU, the club means everything to him!

I wasn't going to subscribe but your short chat with Ole convinced me.

Really like your videos. Love the humour! Keep´em coming I say! :)

With this, u got yourself a new subscriber. Cheers!

Finally!! Thank you for making it

Ole's a good neighbour. Meeting him at the store is nice.

Not even close to being a United fan, but definitely a fan of this guy. Off the bench, he was absolutely Incredible

Actually, when he was bought to the club, the scout was scouting on their next buy, Ronny Johnsen. The scout was watching a national game, Norway against Aserbadjan or something. He was at the game to take a last look at Ronny johnsen who played in Turkey at that time. The national team of Norway had the best defenders in the world back then . Henning Berg slipped past Fergies fingers, and went to Blackburn, and was on the winning team of 95. So he got Ronny. But at that Game, Ole came in, a high ball came towards him, he took it down on his chest, turn around and shot it directly in the goal, all in the same movement. The scout chocked on his sossage, got up, called home, and since Ole was a bargain , cost like Rooneys car budget, United did a doubble deal.

Man great video. Loved it!!!

One of the best super-subs ever ❤ 🙌🏽

Great finisher great video again

Love your content!

Awesome videos...i have seen so manyof your videos. Keep going... love from india❤️

With Ole on the bench, we were never hopeless. The game was not going on well enough? Ole was there to come in and win us the game.

Just found this channel, keep it up♾💪🏽

After having stumbled upon the channel this afternoon and watching 5 videos back to back, I've come to find the channel more entertaining than the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with each video being an individual superhero film that all connect together to tell the story of the Premiere League. Incredible work my guy. Can't wait to see you tell the story of my personal Prem hero, Park Ji-sung. Cheers!

How in the world are you not on at least a 100k subs my man. Dont worry keep working and I can guarantee you that the silver button will be yours very soon.

Great video! You deserve more subs! Please do a video like this for the United trinity

Your narration is incredible , full of humor too .

A true legend

9:28 Love the editing and the little jokes on this channel! "Mountains are there to be climbed aren't they" -Ole Gunnar Solksjaer

Love the guy, there’s a place for a statue for you one day Ole. Because I know you’re going to win us trophies as manager.

Hehehe....your commentary is elite level! You've got me to subscribe! Will definitely be checking out more videos!

Very good video. Gained a new subscriber. Could of spoke about his potential transfers in later years but wanted to stay and his last goal for utd against Spurs I think

GREAT vid! U are doing great on yt. hope u start growing very quick.:)

Amazing vid

loved it!

How anyone could ever dislike these videos is beyond me

great videos man, subscribed.. hopefully your channel explode soon!

You forgot to mention that he could shoot with both feets!

Good video. Bearing in mind he was never a superstar it’s nice to see him get some shine

Damn that was a great video. Subbed!

Love the format of these videos. Do Berba

Liverpool man here... this dude was deadly... i couldn't understand him being a squad player... top player

Of his 126 goals for United, 29 were as a sub. That leaves 97...that must have been scored when he was in the starting XI. Oh! speaking of which - United career, 366 appearances, 210 in the starting XI, 156 as a sub. In only 3 seasons was he used as a sub more often than a starter - 1998/99 just happened to be one of them, 18 in the starting XI and 20 as a sub. The other 2 seasons were his final 2 when his knee was clearly never going to recover. From 2000/1 and the fall of Cole/Yorke and their sales to his catastrophic injury in the 03/04 season, he was a permanent starter either up front with Ruud or on one of the wings. Especially after the Beckham sale, he had that RW position on lock until CR7 was ready - as well as when he went down with that final huge injury. (His goal production dropped but the assists shot up while he was on the wing lol.) If anyone wants tp know how good he was, there was a 5-1 win over Derby in the 2001/2 season. Cannot recall exact stats, I think he had 1 G and 2 A, but it isn't that that impressed me, it was how he ran that offense like a general. MUTV ran that match as a "classic" for a bit highly recommended to appreciate his on-pitch iinfluence. There was also that great comeback vs Spurs away, 3-5. Ole didn't score. DID come in as a sub for that match. Assisted either 2 of the last 3 or all 3 final goals. Another great example of his talent off the ball and deceptive fantastic passing. Watch the highlights, the final goal by Beckham, Ole passed it. And was so in tune with that match and his teammates that he raised his arms to celebrate Beckham's goal... BEFORE BECKS HAD EVEN SHOT THE BALL! lol SAF rotated his squads WAAY more than folks remember. Ole started more often than he was called upon. Let us please NEVER forget that and just fall into repeating lazy "sub" narratives, influenced and perpetuated by short highlight clips and lazy pundits!! 20LEgend.

Love the baby Assassin! Always Delivered with a Smile on his Face

These type of videos are the best

Ole was a class act,

From a fans perspective, other than being a scorer of glorious goals and a grafter, and thus cermenting his place as a legend forever, he was loyal to United in return and appeared greatfull to the fans for being so popular. Had chances to leave - SAF wouldn't have stood in his way if he wanted to start regularly elsewhere, but Ole recognised playing 30 games a season for United is better than playing 40 games for spurs/newcastle/Liverpool/Chelsea/(I cant add city here, they were playing Macclesfield and Stockport in the third tier at the time :D)... Anyway - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made dreams come true.

"positional awareness" you mentioned this and i totally agree this was Ole's key attribute. He knew where he needed to be to stick it in the back of the net...also he put the ball where the keeper wasnt, i know that sounds silly but look at the number of players guilty of striking the ball down the keepers channel. nice video

Very....he scored 126 goals for ManUtd. How many players did that? How many players won the amount of silverware he did with ManUtd? How many scored in a champions league final for ManUtd? The answer to all those questions is some but not many....And he also did some things for ManUtd that no other player I can think of has done definitely not in the PL era anyway i.e scoring 4 in an away game despite only playing 14mins of that game. He's not the greatest ever but he was brilliant & important.

9:06 "Beckham's cross.. in to Sherringham, and *SOLKSJAER HAS WON IT* "

One thing that stands out about Solksjaer was his reading of the game, as a often as.a substitute, he would be looking for spaces left by defenders, his pace was another underappreciated asset and his two footedness stood him out. But it's his calmness, patience and belief in his abilities that made him the striker he was and the ever improving manager at United he is developing into. Solksjaer's physical fitness also helped his goalscoring, rarely injured, able to shrug off big centre halfs. Solksjaer also played on the wing often to accommodate Ruud Van Nistelrooy, often taking David Beckham's place notably in a Champions League QF game in 2003 against Real Madrid when United flight back from 3-2 to win 4-3...

I was smiling throughout the video, brilliant narration! The decline of united, no wonder fans are protesting outside Old Trafford right at this very moment. What a shrewd signing he turned out to be, hope he brings success back to United, now in a suit!

I liked this video so much I hit the like button twice. JUST TO BE SURE.

Great player lovely bloke. Credit to whoever raised him.

I think one of the best things, and one of the reasons he is so universally beloved, is that he was loyal - not only to United but to the Norwegian teams that brought him up - and that he was happy and proud to be a super sub. Even out of the starting 11 he was always a contributor to any and all success United had - and as you said, a feared tool in Fergusons belt who could tip the scale of a match due to presence and reputation alone.

The Dude was extremely Clinical. If he was in some other league where technical abilities were prefered more. He would had been a starter any day. And as in terms of Manager and his Loyalty trait. He's just simply amazing regardless of all the negativity and losses he faced.

Underrated channel

Love is in the air..

1:15 What a goal. Brilliant composure.
