World Football : Solskjaer and Fowler, Head to Head, who is a bigger legend ?

Solskjaer wins hands down.

Please also note that Robbie Fowlers playing career began two years before Solskjaers professional career, Robbie in 1993, Ole in 1995, Ole was a sub for most of his career too, by choice, not because he wasn't good enough, which makes his achievements even more impressive.

He watched a game unfold, watched opposition defences to find out their weakness, then he would come on and exploit those weaknesses to devastating effect.

Ole Gunnar scored that goal in the UEFA Champions League Final against Bayern Munich in 1999 in the last 60 seconds of the additional three minutes of stoppage time, that was enough to give him legendary status within the football world alone.

I walked along a beach in Australia two years after the game wearing my United shirt, an Australian was fishing and said to me , "why haven't you got number 20 on your shirt mate?" "Why?" I said, "Because that kid is a legend for what he did." That is how well known Ole is worldwide.

All this is before mentioning the rest of the success he had in his 12 years at Old Trafford. Six Premier league medal's, two FA Cup medal's, one League Cup medal, one Champions League medal, one Intercontinental medal and four Charity Shield medal's.

In light of this head to head I see no reason whatsoever to claim that Robbie Fowler is a bigger legend in the football world than Ole. Robbie Fowler even once famously dropped to his knees after scoring and pretended to "snort" the white line, referring to snorting cocaine, does your average legend use these actions?

I think not.

A legend in Liverpool and Anfield History, yes, but with not even a league medal to his name how on earth can he be classed as a legend? The sentence that he never had the right squad of player's around him was mentioned, this is just crazy talk, and to be honest it's a tad disrespectful to the other Liverpool team mates of Fowler.

I can understand how he is a legend inside Anfield, that's fair enough but outside of Liverpool? Well for me, no. And a bigger legend than Ole? Again for me, no.

But with the evidence brought before you, I would like to know what the bleachers out there think, its' your time to be judge and jury is Ole a bigger legend?

Or is it Fowler?

I know before we start that the Liverpool fans will say Robbie Fowler , but if every one who read's this article could say "Robbie" or "Ole" in the comment box, along with your comment, I'll count up all the votes soon and let you all know who wins' the battle for legendary status out of RF and OGS.

Rate too as usual, and thanks for reading.
