I think the mere fact that whenever kudos are being given to latas Dwight's name always pops up and for that matter whenever kudos are being given to any local footballer simply because Dwight is definitely the greatest t&t footballer, no debate. I think the on field comparisons are unfair simply because they played different positions and even with positions they are different types of players. Latapy for all the ability that he has apparently never caught the eyes of those in really high places, i mean they can never be any comparisons with the leagues in Portugal and Scotland to the EPL, after the failed wc campaign for italia 90, how is it that Yorke caught the eye to go on to play in the EPL given that he only made substitute appearances over Latapy who had much more playing time? For those who dont know Yorke was an outstanding dribbler and has tremendous ball handling capabilities, these things have been removed from his game over the years to suit the roles he was given. Manchester did not want a dribbler they wanted somone to put the ball in the back of the net with one or two touches, Yorke was that man, and for me he would always be the MAN.
