His first season with Manchester United could not have gone much better. Dwight Yorke, after arriving from Aston Villa, won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in his debut campaign.
Not only that, but the frontman finished as the league's top goalscorer and won the Premier League Player of the Season. Yorke had also contributed in Europe, scoring important goals against Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Juventus.
He had formed a superb partnership with Andy Cole, and the United strikeforce was one of the most feared in world football. They complemented each other perfectly.
Given how well he began his career at Old Trafford, very few people were surprised with how well the striker performed in the following campaign under Sir Alex Ferguson.
