The Trinidad and Tobago international enjoyed better times under Brian Little, scoring the third goal in the 1996 Coca Cola Cup Final win over Leeds United. In the following campaign, 1996/97, he became the first Villa player since 1981 to net 20 League goals in one season.
In his last full season with Villa, 1997/98, Dwight helped them to clinch a place in the UEFA Cup. The club's top scorer with sixteen in all competitions, he found the net in the final fixture, a crucial 1-0 win over champions Arsenal.

....................The next year he became the first United player since Brian McClair in 1988 to score 20 league goals as the Reds cruised to the title

In the premiership, Dion Dublin and Dwight Yorke have done it once, Matt Le Tissier has done it twice. What did they do?



Scored a hat trick but finished on the losing side in an EPL game.




NEWCASTLE, England (Reuters) -- Alan Shearer, who will spearhead Newcastle's attack in the club's FA Cup final against Manchester United on Saturday, gave his Player of the Year vote to United striker Dwight Yorke.
Though he feels Newcastle has a good chance against United at Wembley, Shearer is full of admiration for Yorke.
"I think he's a tremendous player -- not just a goalscorer. I admire him. Dwight works his socks off for the side and links up well with everyone," he said.
Shearer's verdict is a massive boost for Yorke, who lost out on the players' award to Tottenham's David Ginola.


Great Villa Comebacks 4
Rob wrote: I remember in the League Cup (was The Coca Cola Cup then ) in 1996 we drew Arsenal in the semi final with the first leg being played at Highbury.

At the time we were Brain Little's Claret and Blue Army and were doing quite well in the league but Arsenal were still favourites to beat us at their place.

The first-half was fast becoming a disaster, Dennis Bergkamp scored the first goal of the game and within a few minutes Bossie was picking the ball out of the net again after being beaten from 25 yards by the same player.

2-0 down at Highbury and not even half time, how many teams can say they have come back from that?

We responded well and despite the scoreline we never looked jaded by it. Just before halftime the lifeline came, a scramble in the box eventually fell to Dwight Yorke who hit a low drive past David Seaman. 2-1 and the Arsenal fans where not so buoyant now.

Half-time came and went and when the second-half began the Villa fans where quick to get behind the team and help grab us an equaliser that at one point looked like never coming.

A header back across goal from the left nicely fell to the head of Yorkie who was 5 yards out and never looked like missing.

Villa fans went crazy and now believed that we could turn the whole tie on its head. Frank Sinatra would have been proud of the Villa boys with the sound of Dwight Yorke, Dwight Yorke ringing around the clock end.

2-2 was a great score to take to Villa Park but it nearly got a lot better than that, super Tommy Johnson hit the bar from about 25 yards and the rebound fell to Yorkie who was on for the hat trick. With just Seaman to beat it looked like a certain goal but somehow he pulled off a cracking save. We were absolutely gutted.

The game ended 2-2 and we took them back to Villa Park with the away goals in the bag. The return leg ended 0-0 and we qualified for the Final where we beat Leeds 3-0.

This may have not been as big a turn around as the Tranmere semi finals in 1994 but to go to Highbury and show so much spirit and passion to come back from a potential hammering, against one of the best teams in Europe, I think deserves a place as one of Aston Villa's greatest ever comeback moments.

Dwight had some incredible games and goals with Villa, hopefully one day I (or somebody) could dig them outta de EPL archives

Once Yorke playing I sure his tally will rise, even in defensive mid he does manage to chook in a goal here and there

[Babalawo]

hope he boy Keene give him plenty run next season

[Peong]

Everybody know about Yorke Villa days when he hit a chip penalty vs Seaman, but he also had a wicked diving header from just inside the box against Seaman that was amazing.

It in the Yorke documentary that I can't find.

Yorke sweats on Sunderland future


Dwight Yorke confesses he doesn't know what the future holds for him beyond his current Sunderland contract, which is up in the summer.
The veteran returned from a calf injury in last night's reserve defeat to Liverpool and has played a bigger part in this season than many felt he would.

He's been an important player for boss Roy Keane in many recent games, operating in a holding midfield role where he is able to use his passing ability to help the side build from the back.

The ex-Manchester United and Aston Villa favourite will be 37 later this year and only two older outfield players are plying their trade in the elite.

Blackburn's Tugay is the oldest at 37 while Derby's former Sunderland defender, Alan Stubbs, is a month older than Yorke, who admitted: "Who knows what is in store for me next year?

"My contract runs out at the end of the season and I will have to sit and see what happens. Will there be an offer here for me? I don't know.

"In the meantime, I have just got to keep trying to do my best for Sunderland Football Club until the end of the season."

Andy Cole's departure for Burnley last month left Yorke in an elite club of players still active in the Premier League having scored more than 100 top-flight goals – the others being Newcastle's Michael Owen and Tottenham's Robbie Keane.

But he has gradually dropped
deeper for the teams he has represented, showing his qualities in midfield at the highest level for Trinidad & Tobago at the 2006 World Cup.

So what next for him – centre-back?

"Tell me about it!" he grinned. "I can't go much further."

But in a more serious tone, he added: "If I didn't think I could be playing there I would happily walk away from the game today.

"I felt I could play in this position I'm playing today and I feel I can compete with some of the young lads still.

"I'll keep going until the moment comes when I can't help the team or contribute to the team in any way, then I will certainly walk away.

"Right now I'm still enjoying the game, even though I would like to win a few more matches, which would make life a lot easier for all of us."

Yorke has missed Sunderland's last two games, including last weekend's 2-0 home win over fellow strugglers Wigan.
