The question was about who was the better striker.

It’s Ole all day long imo.

Sheringham played as a striker when he won footballer of the year.

Ole finisher but better forward/striker/footballer was the others he played with. Thats why he wasn’t a regular.

How?

Not much between Teddy and Ole overall IMO, but very different players

Ole was unfortunate that he was around when he was. He had our best partnership ever in Cole & Yorke. He had Sheringham taking on that deeper cantona role that Ole would never do, then RVN after that. There were always top quality individuals around when he was.

He was always of value and somewhat of a victim of how good he was from the bench. He made the position his in 96/97 and was adaptable and reliable after that. Top striker, a top pro and etched in history for what he did in 99

I’m sure he has no regrets

Yep he was unfortunate there were better players than him playing in his position at that time.

Great player great servant great lad.

I can understand maybe saying he was better than one of them, but all 3. Not a chance.

He had absolutely nowhere near the all round ability as a footballer as Yorke for instance.

Sheringham was over rated as fork at spurs. Hated his first 6 months for us also.

Needs a poll...

Sheringham looked like a flop for the first 18 months or so, even if he did brilliantly turn it around subsequently.

In contrast to Ole, who made a big impact almost straight away.

Its a terrible shame that his time as manager ended as it did, and he simply had to go. But he is overall one of the good guys, nqat.

Gets forgotten but Ole was decent for us in the 2002/03 season when Fergie played him on the right after Beckham was dropped. He played 57 games for us that season, comfortably his highest number of games in any season at United. He surprised a lot at the time with his versatility, regularly replacing Beckham on the right and accommodating Van Nistelrooy as the central striker.

Absolutely love Ole; a genuine, bonafide United legend, of that there is no question.

Certain people should hang their heads in shame after what they said about him.

First time I’ve bothered watching this, not generally a fan of these kind of podcasts. Carragher is annoying as £#%&! isn’t he

So do I & still get angry when I think about how majority of players let him down badly!

100% in agreement with you about that

Great watch. I love Ole and still think he did a good job here but was badly let down by the arseholes in the dressing room.

It was quite emotional watching him tear up when talking about how it ended

Agreed. A genuine legend and the only good vibes at OT since Fergie.
