memories Well I can't sleep, and nothing's good on TV, so YouTube is my next resort. This match brings back memories. I remembered how I wasn't allowed to watch this match live because I had school the next day, but I went to school cheerful after my dad told me the result. I was the most eager to come back home and watch it recorded on tape. This Champions League match sealed Man Utd's famous 1999 treble, together with the Premier League and the FA Cup. How I wished I watched it live, I could imagine the feeling of being so close to defeat but jumping and celebrating just 3 minutes before the match ended. It was amazing how this match was won by then United substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They weren't in the main eleven, the first choices, the superstar strikers... But they were the heroes for that night and the men of the moment. Opportunities, wow. Even when the next season started, they were still not in the first team. Solskjaer was then famous for always coming off the bench and saving the day from a close defeat. After he hung his boots, he still stayed at Old Trafford (I mean, Man Utd) and became the coach of United's Reserve Team. Never in the spotlight, but there at places where you need him. Superstars like Gabriel Heinze (ashamed to share the same name), Ruud van Nistelrooy, David Beckham left when they felt like it and their moments forgotten, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was always known for his loyalty to the club, and for this night where he led United to make history. Sometimes in our lives, we get so close to defeat from the problems and obstacles in our lives. But we didn't come this far to give up at the last minute. Or the last 3 minutes. God always saves the day... He is always faithful even when we are faithless. ... And you may not be the first choice, the main person, the favourite... But you are still in God's plans. Never quit, because you'll never know when your moment will come. God has chosen you for such a time like this. God uses people who are weaker and less able, so that His glory may be shown. Ps. If anyone has an old Man Utd jersey from the 1999 season, how much for it? Or if you see it selling anywhere, let me know. I'll get it with the number 20 and his name printed. LOL. Thanks Quek. |
