Today a legend of soccer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (yes, that is his real name) has announced his retirement.
To put his retirement into a bit of perspective, he scored the winning goal for Manchester United in what was the club's most famous win of all time.
Bear with me if you know nothing about soccer.
Picture this - your team has won the English Premier League season, the FA Cup and is now looking to achieve the never-been-done-before treble by winning the Champions League and being crowned kings of Europe also.
The full 90 minutes of the game has passed and the score is 1 all.
Your team gets a corner kick. The kick is good, it's long, it deflects off a teammate's head and you stick your foot out just at the right moment, driving the ball into the top of the net.
This was Ole. He scored the goal that made Manchester United one of the greatest sporting teams in history. And today he retired.
For your viewing pleasure I have included some footage of that historic goal here.
The footage actually shows both Manchester United goals for the game but it's the second one that counts.
