Dwight Yorke And His Dancers

Posted by Luke on January 7, 2007 10:52 AM | 

Dwight Yorke has an interesting role at Sunderland. Sometimes he plays in midfield, sometimes he plays up front. Sometimes he is captain, sometimes he is substitute. Sometimes he acts as a scout, recommending Carlos Edwards to the club, sometimes he acts as social secretary, organising the squad's nights out from his base on Newcastle Quayside.

But I never realised that the Trinidad and Tobago international (playboy) was a dance choreographer with a keen eye which suggests the BBC should consider appointing him as a judge on the next series (oh gee, I can hardly contain my excitement) of Strictly Come Dancing.

You see, while the rest of Yorke's teammates kicked a ball around, did a few stretches and sprints, Yorke seemed far more interested with the presence of the Preston cheerleaders who were doing a (badly timed) routine on the half way line to keep the crowds entertained before kick off.

Yorke, chin resting on his hand, pulled up a ball, sat on it and cast his critical eye over the girls as they pranced and pouted.

Sadly, I don't think the girls had the X Factor because Yorkie did not look too impressed and, after one dance, decided he had seen enough, jumping to his feet before returning his attention back to his football.

Simon Cowell eat your heart out. Never mind girls, I am sure you will be able to audition for the Yorke show again next season. He's always on the look out for new talent!
