Dwight YorkeDwight 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. Yorke, Dwight Yorke, Dwight
