Tis a sad day that the baby faced assassin has announced his retirement.Probably will be remembered as a good player not a great one,in my eyes a great player,he had the chance to go to spurs for more money and regular (every week) firt team footie.He turned it down and fought for a place in Manutd's first team and the rest became history

Cheers Ole

There was nothing opposing teams feared more than the sight of OGS taking off his tracksuit and warming up on the touchline.

Didn't matter if you had a 2 or 3 goal lead with 20 mins to go - Ole was one of those players who could turn a game within minutes of coming on.

Scoring rate from the bench was incredible and if you analyse his scoring rate vs minutes on the pitch, he's quite possibly the most devastating player ever to play in this country.

Obviously, he'll always be remembered for that night in '99 - but should also be remembered for being the best example of a professional footballer for all the up and coming kids today.

Never once did it cross his mind to leave the club that picked him from relative obscurity - even though he was 'only' a squad player.

Although it's devastating that we'll never see him score again - it's good to see that his knowledge of the game and his loyalty are being given a chance to rub off on the next generation of United players.

Heinze could have learned a lot from Ole's example.

A legend, and one of a kind in the modern game.

Thanks for the memories.
