Dwight Yorke was born in the exotic country of Trinidad and Tobago, an island country located in the southern Caribbean sea (near the Northern coast of South America). Like most of the future great players, the boy grew up in poverty. Besides him, the family had eight children. From early childhood he was dreaming about football. Dwight believed that only being able to achieve a professional football career, you can break out of stagnation, something for the majority of his peers.

And to begin, in his opinion, the career need of acquiring at least a pair of these football boots. Therefore, in order to bring the desired moment, you need these boots to make money. And for this there was only one possibility-to gather on the sea shore crabs to the proceeds from their sale money to buy a game gear.

History has not preserved reliable information, whether played Dwight barefoot or in boots, as a schoolboy in the village of Bon accord, but later, while studying at a secondary school in the city Signal hill, he actively played in the local youth team, who had a full football equipment. Otherwise the impossible would be the match that completely changed the life of a young boy. And they had to play, not with someone else, and one of the best teams in England.

In 1989, point pre-season «Aston Villa” was selected by Trinidad and Tobago. Here the team of Graham Taylor in preparation for the football season held a series of friendly matches with local clubs. It so happened that one of the contests was to meet with the team «Signal hill”, which was attended by our hero. The irony is that a local young man single-handedly tore one of the best defensive lines in the English championship.

History has not preserved the outcome of the match, but determined the future of Dwight Yorke. Since December 1989, he became a football player «Aston Villa».

biography of Dwight Yorke

“Signal hill” received 126000 pounds, and the English club is a young and promising player, signatories to his first professional contract.

Stages football

In the 1989/90 season Dwight played in the Premier League only two games. This was due to protracted bureaucratic red tape for getting permission to work in England. The player patiently collected dozens of paper, dodged a lot of bureaucratic offices. And when it seemed that all the information collected, it became clear that misspelled the name of the player (instead of Yorke was listed York). Finally after all the tribulations the player has received the opportunity to perform in the championship of England.

His debut match he played on March 24, 1990 against the «crystal Palace". English championship – for a strong spirit. Here are players with strong nerves. Therefore, the coach «Aston Villa” is not in a hurry immature guy to throw in the crucible of struggle. He was preparing him for next season. But the coach's fate unpredictable. According to the results of the championship Taylor was deposed, replaced by Joseph Venglos. He immediately made it clear that relies on other players line of attack, and Dwight is not much counting. It turned out that the coach "put on a lame horse." As a result, a 17th place in the championship. And already Joseph Venglos loses his job, losing it to Ron Atkinson.

Under their new coach York has played. Yes, so I played that immediately became a favorite of Birmingham audiences, and some fans were drawn to the map, to find where the country of Trinidad and Tobago. Nine seasons he played for the blue-and-Burgundy Dwight Yorke. During this period he spent 231 matches and scored 73 goals. Went well at football «Aston Villa» hard.Coach John Gregory didn't want to hear about a possible separation with the best striker of the team, then tried to exchange him for Ashley Cole, then told the player that if he in the office had a gun, he would place his shot. In the end, Dwight has left the club. He was sold to «Manchester United" in August 1998 for £ 12 million.

The Club desperately needed scoring forward. Despite the presence of such attackers, as Solskjaer, Sheringham, Cole, the attacking power of the team was not. York was declared at the last moment. Of course, the concerns were and the player, if he can play in his new club, as it will concern the fans, not jalousie black players. And even more so, he should not play worse than the recent idol “United” Eric Cantons, which, in fact, expected coach Alex Ferguson.

Fears of a player is not justified. Dwight is deeply involved in the composition of the «Manchester United», becoming the main player of the team from the first season. His debut match he played in the EPL with the club «West ham United», and their first goals for his new team scored in the meeting with ‘Charlton”. In General, the 1998/99 season was one of the most successful in the history «red devils». The team won the championship and the FA Cup and was also the strongest in the tournament of the Champions League.

Dwight Yorke biography and career center

A Crucial role in the success of the club was played by Dwight Yorke. His goals were crucial in the quarterfinal opposition in the FA Cup «Chelsea», in a final Cup match against «Liverpool» in the Champions League quarter-final with the Italian «inter». In the semifinal match against «Juventus» a goal of York actually put the English club in the final of the most prestigious European football tournament. In addition, Dwight is the best goalscorer of championship of England, nikolotov to the opponents 29 goals. Next season bringing back the «Manchester United» the gold medals of the championship of England thanks to the great game of the 19th number of the team. In the championship 1999/2000 year, York also has a superb performance, scoring 24 goals.

It was, in fact, the peak performances player in the squad “United”. Next season he rarely was in a position to start the League game, giving way to Teddy Sheringham, but after the acquisition of Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy lost his place in the heart of the club. In his last season Dwight scored just 1 goal in 16 meetings.

Here it is necessary to highlight a rather nasty character of the player, most often manifested in an extraordinary game, home and life situations. He often quarreled with the coach, and once got into trouble with the local model Katie Price. Often ignored the call to matches of the national team of his country. As a result, in 2002, Dwight was sold in "Blackburn Rovers” for the degrading of 2 million pounds. But there were times when a bunch of attackers «Manchester United» Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke was one of the strongest in the world, nikolotov in 1999, 53 goals.

Future football career of York – drop down. No “Blackburn Rovers” nor “Birmingham city” nor in the Australian ‘Sydney" he's never demonstrated the level of play that made him loved by millions of fans worldwide.
