Johnnyp Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Used to love watching Yorke when i was growing up. Probably still to this day, the best striker we had circa early 90s on. Gradually went off him, not so much that he wanted the move to United, how he engineered it and purposely downed tools in that opening game against Everton when we didn't have to sell but the club knew after that game he was gonna be bare minimum if he stayed. Obviously quite disgusting also when any man does a runner too and plays no part in his kid's life. Sub human stuff is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I loved the Yorke/Milosevic/Tommy Johnson era. The 96’ Coca Cola Cup day was very special. All his goals and performances were top level. I can remember his hat trick (in vein) at Newcastle like it was yesterday and his little shuffle dance wearing bicycle shorts. Great memories personally but as soon as he left he was dead to me. Luckily Merson and Dublin worked out well for us so I quickly forgot about him. Good interview though Omar, and I really like what you’ve done with your podcast. It gets me through work a long with the 5/6 others I listen to. You and your pals talk a lot of sense on there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 my hero as a kid, i met him once when he opened the academy at Evesham United. Id bunked off school with a mate expecting it to be Brian Little. He pulled up in the car park, no one was there to meet him and he gave us a couple of minutes for signings and photos. I could not speak a word to him, i was utterly star struck. the time he gave me and my mate though meant a lot and the football memories i will never forget. he doesnt seem a great bloke, some terrible stories outside of football and inside football after he left us, but i will always think about the 95/96 season with very very fond memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I don’t think footballers should ever be role models off the pitch. It would be nice if they were but many aren’t. Look at Jack - one of the more stupid and selfish things you can do is drink and drive and yet we still love him. I don’t think Yorke has done anything much worse than that.

I don’t think Yorke has done anything much worse than that. Disowns his own kid. Refuses to acknowledge him or be in his life. Grealish did stuff that fellas the length and breath of the country do in every job, not saying it's right, im just saying. What Yorke did was morally and on a human level, just pathetic.
