Dwight Yorke, Soca Warrior captain
Tiny T& T left its mark on this World Cup with their sterling play against the Swedes and running the Three Lions close in group play. One of the big reasons was the stellar defence of their captain Dwight Yorke, a striker who played makeshift holding midfielder for the T&T team in this World Cup and did a magnificent job. He heads the FIFA table with 21 tackles.
Such was his defense that none of the other players known for their defensive abilities came close. John Terry, Roberto Ayala, and Alessandro Nesta were way down the list.
An amazing feat for one of T&T’s leader in scoring goals, 29 in 59 internationals. Dwight Yorke, leading by example.
