In an interview a few years ago Scholes said Sheringham was the best striker he played with, based on his intelligence and being so deft with his touch using either foot. I remember a pass Sheringham played for Scholes against Sturm Graz I think, away, where Sheringham first time flicked the ball behind him with the back of his foot, and he'd somehow seen Scholes making a run diagonally behind him. It was such a beautiful touch and that's what I associate with him.
Yorke I remember as always taking on defenders and having his head up whenever he was running his players. He scored a hat trick vs Arsenal but I more remember the way he took the ball past Stepanovs oh the left wing before he set up the goal for Keane. He made everyone around him more effective with the way he played. He built relationships with Cole, Keane and Beckham so quickly.
Cole was much better than people seemed to say at the time. Growing up I remember him getting more criticism than praise, maybe based on his first season and a half for the club. But I thought it was crazy England didn't take him to France 98, he was brilliant that season, especially Autumn 1997. England had some great strikers in his generation though. Cole scored some beautiful goals too, long-range chips and overhead kicks, and scored a lot of goals for us in Europe.
Solskjaer obviously a legend and such a great player for the club. 1.5 million pounds was it? So many memories - probably the one out of the 4 who carries the fondest memories for United fans, I can think of so many - and that period when he played RW was a period when we played brilliant football. And still loves the club I think.
(a) Yorke - hit the highest levels. Sheringham close behind.
(b) Hard to choose between Yorke, Cole and Solskjaer. Solskjaer and Cole have longevity but without Yorke we probably wouldn't have won the Treble
and
(c) Solskjaer
