Dwight Yorke.

Goodison.

Badge kissing.

"Everyone knows Birmingham City are historically the biggest club in the area."


No thanks.

Did he actually say that?! What a stupid thing to say, it's just blatantly factually incorrect.

Dwight Yorke - "Birmingham are regarded as bigger than Aston Villa."

"I lived here for nine years and people have always said that Birmingham supporters are much greater in the city."

So he didn't say it, or he'd have said "I lived here for nine years and I have always said that Birmingham supporters are much greater in the city."

Agreed- another case of his words being twisted out of context.

I have never felt that Yorke shares the same love of this club that say Ian Taylor or even Martin Laursen do.
He is far prouder of his time at United and his display against Everton says everything about his character and regard for our club and fans.

One game over 9 years ?

One game over 9 years ?

Exactly. Really pissed off with him at the time but I thought he was great for us over the years. Oh for a young Dwight Yorke now.

Taylor grew up a villa fan though so his allegiance is understandably stronger .

Proud of being in the most successful English team ever. Can you not see the reason for that?

Yes, obviously. That doesn't alter the fact that I would never look back on Yorke's time at the club with nearly the same affection as I do for other players. What was your point?

[ciggiesnbeer]

I put him in a similar bucket as David Platt. Someone who rarely, if ever, seems to acknowledge us as a part of their career.

Thanks for the goals and all that, but he is a hard player to love.

My point, which is pretty obvious, is that of course he's proudest of his greatest achievements so to criticise him  for that is churlish in the extreme.

I have no problems about his success at Man ure, he deserved the biggest stage. What I do have problems with is that day at Everton and his antics for Man Ure in that game. Dont even have a problem with the Birmingham comments as obviously trying the get the knuckledusters on board

Surely you're not gonna dismiss all the marvelous goals and performances he gave in a Villa shirt just because of one lousy day at Everton and a few silly remarks at Small Heath (if he was even serious, which I doubt)?
