Dwight Yorke (born November 3, 1971 in Canaan, Tobago) is a
Trinidad and Tobago football player. He currently plays for
Birmingham City; he previously played for Aston Villa,
Manchester United, and Blackburn Rovers.
Yorke was capped 55 times for the Trinidad and Tobago national
football team, scoring 23 goals. He briefly retired from
international football before coming back for the 2006 World Cup
qualifying campaign.
From 1989 to 1998, Dwight played for Aston Villa. He was a right
winger until the 1995-96 season, when he switched to centre
forward and quickly established himself as one of the
Premiership's top strikers. In August 1998, he was transferred
to Manchester United for £12.6 million.
In his first three seasons, Yorke was a key player in guiding
his club to three successive Premiership titles including a
unique treble of the Premiership title, F.A. Cup and Champions
League.
In 2001-02, Yorke lost his place in the line-up following the
arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy. The following summer he was sold
to Blackburn Rovers for £2 million, spending two years at the
club before joining Birmingham City on a free transfer.
He was once in a much publicised relationship with British
supermodel Jordan, and has a child with her called Harvey. They
famously made home videos of their sexual antics which were
brought to the attention of the media.
