Dwight Yorke...."why i had to quit Rovers" article

.....`cos i was sh1t.

If you read the article as a neutral you will have sympathy for Dwight. However if you remember that he showed very little effort and commitment, the basic ingredient in my eyes for a footballer, then the sympathy soon vanishes with regards to his treatment at Rovers.

[chocky]

A lazy so-and-so...showed very little commitment..the one thing alway got on my nerves about him was the way he always laughed when he missed a goal scoring opportunity..which was quite often..

"Plays with a smile on his face"

or

"does'nt give a shiny s**** but is being paid henious amounts for his trouble, you'd be smiling too!"

Lost whatever hunger he had when he was shown the door at Old Trafford.

Although I wasn't aware his sister died when he was with us.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

A poor, poor signing. Brought Andy Cole down to his level as well !

[Ozz]

Near the end of his time at Rovers he was just winding everybody up. Cost us the points against United when he came on near the end with us one up, couldn't be arsed holding the ball up or anything, leaving them to equalise.

When the inevitable happens and Benni leaves in January, will people in time say the same thing about him as they say about Dwight Yorke.

To me similar players with similar outlooks on the game.

Very good first season, but went down with the Souness ship unfortunately. I have massive amounts of respect for him as a player and I always enjoyed watching him when he was in his prime.

Whilst Benny`s contribution to the Rovers cause hasn`t been the greatest considering his obvious talent, it dwarfs the contribution Yorke made ten fold. But that`s just my opinion

Not just your opinion mate, it's a fact. To compare Yorke's Rovers career to Benni's is a joke. Benni has not been at his best for a couple of seasons but was outstanding in his first season and scored most of the goals that kept us up last year. He's been alright this year too. Yorke was a tosser all the way through his time at Rovers.

Not saying he deserved what Souness did to him but can't say I was too upset about it either...

History will always favour what Souness did for us than what Yorke did despite Souness losing the plot towards the end.

I was surprised to see this article in the LET as I dont see why anyone would have any interest in Dwight Yorke...

No that is your opinion not fact. I cannot recall Mr. Yorke showing the club contempt by returning to pre season so out of shape like Benni last season. Also it can be claimed that Yorke's goals also at some stage kept us in the premiership!

Comparison can be made and once Benni does leave I'm sure the fondness he is held at present will change for some.

[FourLaneBlue]

To be fair Yorke was alright the first season and I seem to remember him outscoring Cole for a while. Mind you that was the equivalent of winning the Tallest Dwarf contest at times...

As for Souness...he fell out with everyone after he lost it. Cole, Dunn and many others...

Including Henning Berg as can be seen in this VERY revealing article after he decided not to keep him any longer (after he changed his mind about moving back to Norway) and instead spent a couple of million on Lorenzo Amoruso instead.

The guy was a waste of space, I can't believe people are defending him on this site.
