'''Dwight Eversley Yorke''' [[Chaconia Medal|CM]] (born 3 November 1971) is a Trinidadian and Tobagonian professional [[Association football|football]] coach and former player who is the head coach of [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]]. Throughout his club career, he played for [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]], [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]], [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]], [[Sydney FC]] and [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]], mainly as a [[Forward (association football)|forward]], between 1989 and 2009. Yorke formed a prolific strike partnership with [[Andy Cole]] at Manchester United, where he won numerous honours including several [[Premier League]] titles and the Treble of the Premier League, [[FA Cup]] and [[UEFA Champions League]] in [[1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season|1999]]. Yorke scored 123 goals in the Premier League, a record for a non-[[Europe|European]] which was not broken until [[Sergio Agüero]] in 2017.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41133350|title=Manchester City 5-0 Liverpool|website=BBC Sport|date=9 September 2017}}</ref>

At international level, Yorke represented [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]] on 74 occasions between 1989 and 2009, scoring 19 goals. He helped his nation reach the semi-finals of the [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup]], and later qualify for the [[FIFA World Cup]] for the first time in its history, representing his country in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 tournament]]. After retiring from playing in 2009, Yorke became assistant manager of the Trinidad and Tobago national team, a position he held until the completion of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification|qualifying matches for the 2010 FIFA World Cup]].

==Club career==
===Aston Villa===
Yorke was first discovered by [[Graham Taylor]], at the time the [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] manager, on a tour of the West Indies in 1989. Yorke, aged 17, appeared in a team that played a [[Friendly (association football)|friendly]] against Aston Villa. Taylor was impressed and offered Yorke a trial at Villa. Yorke was subsequently given a permanent contract and played for the Villa Reserve and Youth sides for the majority of the 1989–90 season, making his [[Football League First Division|First Division]] debut for Aston Villa against Crystal Palace on 24 March 1990: Crystal Palace won the game 1–0. During his time with Aston Villa, from 1989 to 1998, Yorke played initially as a right winger until the [[1995–96 FA Premier League|1995–96 season]], he then switched to [[Forward (association football)|centre forward]] and established himself as one of the [[Premier League]]'s top strikers.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Yorke was an integral member of the Villa team that reached the [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] Final in 1996. Villa won 3–0 against [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] with Yorke getting on the scoresheet. On 30 September 1996 he scored a hat-trick against [[Newcastle United]] in a 4–3 defeat. Yorke appeared for Aston Villa on 284 occasions, scoring 97 times.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

The circumstances of his departure from Aston Villa were controversial. John Gregory, Aston Villa's manager at that time, made it known that the club did not want to sell Yorke to Manchester United unless they were prepared to exchange striker [[Andy Cole]]. Yorke played for Villa on the opening day of the season at [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] on 15 August 1998, however it appeared he made little effort during the match as he was unhappy at not being allowed to leave the club. Villa were left with no option but to sell the player and he was transferred to Manchester United for £12.6&nbsp;million on 20 August 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/701387|title=On This Day – 20 August|date=5 June 2018|access-date=3 April 2024|work=premierleague.com}}</ref>

===Manchester United===
In his first season Yorke was a key player in guiding his club to a unique treble of the Premier League title, [[FA Cup]] and [[UEFA Champions League]], and forming a legendary partnership with Andy Cole.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/apr/24/joy-of-six-strike-partnerships |work=The Guardian |location=London |title=The Joy of Six: great strike partnerships |first=Scott |last=Murray |date=24 April 2009 |access-date=1 May 2010}}</ref> Yorke finished the season as the top league goalscorer with 18 goals and contributed goals against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Inter Milan]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/1999/mar/03/newsstory.sport19 |first=Martin |last=Thorpe |title=Inter are Yorked by United |work=The Guardian |date=3 March 1999 |access-date=10 August 2014 }}</ref> and [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] in the Champions League, and he won the [[Premier League Player of the Season]]. Yorke was also a regular member of United's [[1999–2000 in English football|1999–2000]] title winning team, contributing 23 goals in all competitions.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Despite a less successful third season, Yorke scored his [[List of footballers with 100 or more Premier League goals|100th Premier League goal]] in a 3-0 victory over [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] on 24 November 2000<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/1039357.stm|title=Man Utd flourish buries Derby|date=24 November 2000|via=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> and also netted a [[Hat-trick (association football)|hat-trick]] in the top of the table clash with [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/2999656/United-hit-Arsenal-for-six.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120911171439/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/2999656/United-hit-Arsenal-for-six.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 September 2012 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |title=United hit Arsenal for six |date=25 February 2001 |access-date=1 May 2010 }}</ref> In January 2002 a move to [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] fell through.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/yorke-puts-boro-move-in-jeopardy-668872.html |work=The Independent |location=London |title=Yorke puts Boro move in jeopardy |first=Alan |last=Nixon |date=25 January 2002 |access-date=1 May 2010}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> He played his last game for United that month, and was not issued a squad number for the 2002–03 season.<ref name=blackburn/> Altogether he scored 65 goals for Manchester United in 152 appearances.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Williams |first=Joe |date=2020-07-17 |title=Man Utd legend reveals why Fergie told him to 'f*** off and get lost' |url=https://www.football365.com/news/man-utd-dwight-yorke-reveals-alex-ferguson-f-off |access-date=2025-01-26 |website=Football365 |language=en}}</ref>

===Blackburn Rovers===
In July 2002, Yorke moved to [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] for an initial £2&nbsp;million, potentially rising to £2.6 million; United had wanted a fee of £6 million.<ref name=blackburn/> He was signed to cover the long absence of [[Matt Jansen]] from a traffic accident, and was reunited with his former United strike partner Andy Cole.<ref name=blackburn>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/2153366.stm |title=Blackburn sign Yorke |date=26 July 2002 |access-date=10 August 2014 |website=BBC Sport}}</ref>

Yorke scored 13 goals in all competitions in his first season at [[Ewood Park]], including the winner on 26 October 2002 as Rovers won 2–1 at reigning champions Arsenal.<ref>{{cite news |title=Blackburn pile on Arsenal pain |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/2342425.stm |access-date=22 April 2020 |website=BBC Sport |date=26 October 2002}}</ref> The following 4 January on his return to [[Villa Park]], he scored twice in a 4–1 win in the FA Cup third round.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rovers rout Villa |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/2607183.stm |access-date=22 April 2020 |website=BBC Sport |date=4 January 2003}}</ref> On 11 May, in the last game of the season, he opened a 4–0 win at [[Tottenham Hotspur]] as Blackburn beat Everton to sixth place and [[UEFA Cup]] qualification.<ref>{{cite news |title=Blackburn take Uefa Cup spot |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/2978143.stm |access-date=22 April 2020 |website=BBC Sport |date=11 May 2003}}</ref>

===Birmingham City===
On 31 August 2004, transfer deadline day, Yorke moved to [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] on a one-year deal with the option of a second. Instead of a loan to [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], he chose to join Birmingham for a "substantial but undisclosed fee".<ref>{{cite news |title=Yorke makes Blues switch |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/3616702.stm |access-date=22 April 2020 |website=BBC Sport |date=1 September 2004}}</ref> It was later reported as £250,000.<ref name=released/>

Yorke scored on his home debut for Birmingham in a 1–1 draw against [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], with the equaliser seven minutes after replacing [[Clinton Morrison]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3647064.stm |title=Birmingham 1–1 Charlton |website=BBC Sport |date=18 September 2004 |access-date=24 October 2009 }}</ref> He scored again against Graeme Souness's Newcastle on 3 October.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/3689208.stm |title=Birmingham 2–2 Newcastle |website=BBC Sport |date=3 October 2004 |access-date=24 October 2009}}</ref> However, Yorke fell out of favour at [[St Andrew's (stadium)|St Andrew's]] and was released by mutual consent in April 2005.<ref name=released>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/4481601.stm |title=Birmingham end Yorke's contract |date=25 April 2005 |access-date=10 August 2014 |website=BBC Sport}}</ref>

===Sydney FC===
[[File:Dwight Yorke.jpg|thumb|upright|Yorke with [[Sydney FC]] in 2006]]

Yorke immediately signed for [[Sydney FC]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/birmingham_city/4453259.stm |title=Sydney announce signing of Yorke |date=17 April 2005 |access-date=10 August 2014 |publisher=BBC}}</ref> with a salary of $1&nbsp;million a season. He scored the first goal for Sydney FC in its first A-League regular season match, a diving header against the [[Melbourne Victory FC|Melbourne Victory]]. Yorke came to Sydney FC with the biggest pedigree of all players in the A-League, having won the [[Treble (association football)|treble]] with Manchester United. Yorke scored 7 goals in the A-League, with three of them being from [[Penalty kick (association football)|penalty kicks]]. Sydney FC coach [[Pierre Littbarski]] moved Yorke into a midfield role and gave him the team captaincy.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

He played a major role in leading Sydney FC to victory in the inaugural A-League Grand Final on 5 March against regional rivals [[Central Coast Mariners FC|Central Coast Mariners]]. He set up the only goal, scored by [[Steve Corica]], in front of a sell out crowd of over 41,000 at the [[Sydney Football Stadium (1988)|Sydney Football Stadium]], and was awarded the [[Joe Marston Medal]] as best player in the grand final. Yorke was the [[A-League#Marquee player|marquee player]] for Sydney FC – meaning that his salary fell outside the salary cap. He was also a star name for the A-League as a whole. Aside from his footballing talents, the drawing power and credibility he brought both locally and internationally proved to be beneficial for the competition in its inaugural season, leading the [[Football Federation Australia]] to use his image and name for the promotion of the A-League's second season.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Due to the schedule of football in Australia, Yorke returned to Manchester United for training from March to June 2006, to retain fitness for the World Cup.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Anstead |first1=Mike |title=Ferguson lends Yorke a hand to arm the Warriors |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/feb/28/newsstory.sport3 |access-date=22 April 2020 |work=The Guardian |date=28 February 2006}}</ref>

Yorke returned to Sydney FC to take part in a friendly against Everton in 2010. The game was considered his 'farewell game' as he never had the chance to say a proper farewell to the fans at Sydney FC. Everton won the match 1–0, and Yorke was substituted midway through the second half.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sydneyfc.com/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=34170|title=Sydney FC Home|author=Andrew Howe|work=Sydney FC|access-date=3 July 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110225175655/http://www.sydneyfc.com/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=34170|archive-date=25 February 2011}}</ref>

===Sunderland===
[[File:Dwight Yorke 2007.jpg|thumb|upright|Yorke (left) playing for [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in 2007]]

On 31 August 2006, Yorke's transfer to [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] was announced.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/yorke-confirms-sunderland-move-20060901-gdoamo.html|title=Yorke confirms Sunderland move|date=31 August 2006|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=2 January 2019}}</ref> The transfer for a fee of £200,000 ([[Australian Dollar|A$]] $500,000) re-united Yorke with ex-teammate [[Roy Keane]], manager of Sunderland. Yorke made his debut in the home match against Leicester City and received a rapturous standing ovation from home fans when he came on as a substitute in the first half. Yorke was used as a defensive midfielder rather than his usual striker role.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/7209006.stm |title=Yorke revelling in defensive role |date=25 January 2008 |access-date=10 August 2014 |publisher=BBC}}</ref> He scored his first goal for Sunderland in the 2–1 loss against Stoke.

On 2 January 2008, during Sunderland's 1–0 defeat to Blackburn, Yorke was given a red card by referee Rob Styles. Yorke stated several times he would like to return to the [[A-League]], preferably Sydney FC. However, following Sydney FC's signings at the time it seemed unlikely that Sydney would have been able to fit him under the salary cap. It was reported that Yorke play for rivals Central Coast Mariners, the team bankrolled by the man who brought him to Sydney, Peter Turnbull.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23336611-5001023,00.html |title=Aussie encore for Yorke |first=John |last=Taylor |date=8 March 2008 |work=The Daily Telegraph }}</ref>

On 11 March 2008, it was announced that the Mariners were in "advanced negotiations" with Yorke to become the marquee for two years.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23352151-5001023,00.html |title=Dwight Yorke close to A-League comeback with Mariners |first=David |last=Davutovic |date=11 March 2008 |work=The Daily Telegraph }}</ref> However, on 1 July he signed a new one-year contract to stay with Sunderland for the 2008–09 season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11695_3766182,00.html |title=Yorke to stay with Black Cats |website=Sky Sports |access-date=2 July 2008 }}</ref> He was named [[man of the match]] for his performance<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/oct/06/premierleague.sunderland |work=The Guardian |location=London |title=No substitute for sentiment as Leadbitter's sweet celebration is dedicated to his father |first=Louise |last=Taylor |date=6 October 2008 |access-date=1 May 2010 }}</ref> against Arsenal on 4 October 2008, with Sunderland drawing 1–1 at home.

===Post-retirement===
Yorke has completed his Level B coaching badge, and in 2010 was quoted as being interested in pursuing a career in coaching, ideally with Aston Villa.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.birminghammail.net/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-dwight-yorke-sets-116376|title=Aston Villa: Dwight Yorke sets his sights on becoming Aston Villa manager|author=Mat Kendrick|date=11 January 2010|work=birminghammail|access-date=3 July 2015|archive-date=21 February 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130221131903/http://www.birminghammail.net/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-dwight-yorke-sets-116376|url-status=dead}}</ref> On 17 April 2011 he completed the [[London Marathon]] in a time of 3 hours and 32 minutes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://guardian.co.tt/sports/football/2010/12/07/yorke-gets-level-b-coaching-badge|title=Sports|access-date=3 July 2015}}</ref> On 14 August 2011, Yorke signed a two-year deal to work for [[Sky Sports]] as a pundit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tntmirror.com/2011/08/14/yorke-scores-big-job|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120915061241/http://www.tntmirror.com/2011/08/14/yorke-scores-big-job|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 September 2012|title=Yorke scores big job|website=www.tntmirror.com|access-date=20 March 2018}}</ref>

== International career ==
Yorke was [[Cap (association football)|capped]] 72 times for the [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago national team]], scoring 19 goals. Along with his friend [[Russell Latapy]], Yorke was a member of the 1989 'Strike Squad', the national team which narrowly failed to qualify for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socawarriors.net/component/content/article/3940.html|title=The story of our 2006 World Cup success|publisher=Soca Warriors|date=25 November 2005|access-date=18 December 2017}}</ref> He retired from international football in 2001 after a disagreement with coach [[René Simões]], who cut Yorke and [[Russell Latapy]] from the squad prior to a decisive game of the [[2002 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF final round|2002 World Cup qualification]], as both missed practice following a night partying.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com.br/noticia/749541_16-anos-depois-rene-simoes-revela-por-que-barrou-campeao-da-champions-e-do-mundial-pelo-united-nao-teve-jeito|title=16 anos depois, René Simões revela por que barrou campeão da Champions e do Mundial pelo United: 'Não teve jeito'|language=pt|publisher=ESPN Brasil}}</ref> However he returned to the team for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification|2006 World Cup qualification]] campaign, in which the team qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in their history after a 2–1 aggregate qualifying victory over [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jun/03/worldcup2006.sport7|title='Wave yuh bandanas'|date=3 June 2006|work=The Guardian|author=Morrison, Blake|accessdate=13 October 2021}}</ref>

Yorke was captain for all of Trinidad and Tobago's games at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|2006 World Cup]] and was man of the match in the 0–0 draw against [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]], pipping his close friend [[Shaka Hislop]] to the honour despite the then [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham]] goalkeeper making several world-class saves. He was one of six players in the Trinidad squad (the others being [[Brent Sancho]], [[Dennis Lawrence]], [[Chris Birchall]], [[Carlos Edwards]] and [[Stern John]]) to have played every minute of the campaign. Yorke was rated the best defensive midfielder in the opening stages of the World Cup.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/origin1904-p.cxm.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/2006germany|title=2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™|website=www.fifa.com}}</ref>

On 15 October 2008, he scored his first international goal after returning from retirement against the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]] in a 2010 World Cup qualification match. The game ended 2–1 for Trinidad and Tobago. His goal was a crucial tie-breaker scored in the 79th minute, which put Trinidad and Tobago in a great situation to advance to the next qualifying stage, needing only a tie against Cuba in their final game. On 11 February 2009, Yorke scored a 26th-minute penalty for his country, but was sent off in the dying seconds of Trinidad and Tobago's opening match of 2010 World Cup qualification against [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]] (2–2) after exchanging heated remarks with Mexican referee [[Marco Antonio Rodríguez]] (the Trini star had voiced his disapproval of the disruptions caused by the home crowd) and was consequently banned for four games due to his use of abusive language. The suspension was later reduced to two matches.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_sports?id=161457778|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090401033728/http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_sports?id=161457778|url-status=dead|title=Yorke's ban slashed to two matches|archive-date=1 April 2009|access-date=31 January 2020}}</ref>

After being released from Sunderland and being unable to find a club before the end of the current [[transfer window]], Yorke retired from football altogether in September 2009, and took up the post of assistant manager with the Trinidad and Tobago national team.<ref>{{cite news |title=Yorke opts to end playing career |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/8239081.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=4 September 2009 |access-date=4 September 2009 }}</ref>

==Management career==
