Dwight Yorke has decided to hang up his boots at the age of 37 and take on the role of the assistant manager for Trinidad and Tobago. He was one of what I called the "Oreo Team" at Manchester United, partnering Andy Cole. They were the attacking pair when I started watching Manchester United play and I shall never forget the way they demolished Liverpool in the Charity Shield and other tournaments.
He has offered quite a lot of entertainment during his days as a player and was fondly referred to as the smiling assasin due to his ability to score goals and his ever existent smile! It'll be exciting to see him follow the footsteps of his other teammates such as Roy Keane and take up a managerial role with a English club in the near future. If that happens, it would then seem that Alex Ferguson is sowing his seeds in the game, especially the English game.
There goes the "Oreo Team" and the beginning of a new attacking partnerships at Manchester United.
