If you're basing it on only who you've seen, and started watching in 1989, missing off Sid is reasonable. He was still very good them, but not at his absolute peak.
I can't say I'm surprised, sadly. Always liked him, he seems to be an arrogant tossed that has only since acknowledged the existence of Aston Villa when he has been touting himself for the manager's job.
Yorke was world class at a time when teams (Villa and utd) played with two strikers. How would he fare as a lone striker in the formations of today?

I reckon he would have done very well, he was a clever footballer and used space and other peoples runs well, also very good at holding a ball into feet as he matured.I would never have said he’d make it after seeing him the first couple of times.

Yorke and Benteke with Grealish in behind would be nightmare to defend, Yorke's movement off the ball was exceptional and Grealish and Benteke are like magents for defenders. I honestly think all at their best, with a functional midfield in behind, sees Yorke scoring 30+ for the season.
