Ability Quote by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

“My best ability was in just being ready when I was called upon. Then, I would be fit, and my legs would be light. If you sulk and are on the bench, and the gaffer calls you on, you are not ready because there's something going on in your head.” quote by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
