Man Utd hero Yorke: Leading T&T in World Cup greatest moment

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke says leading Trinidad & Tobago to the 2006 World Cup was the highlight of his career.

There have been plenty of trophies and momentous occasions to look back on for Yorke, but he says: "I feel so blessed.

"Being at the World Cup was historic for our country. We are tiny. Manchester alone is bigger. To be the captain of our team and hear the national anthem being played before that first match against Sweden was exceptionally special.

"We weren't just representing Trinidad. It was the entire Caribbean. Nobody will ever be able to take that accolade away from me."
