 Australian Soccer News - Dwight Yorke :: Soccerphile
It's not only the Champions League medal around his neck, or the strike-rate of a goal every third Premier League game adorning his CV, that makes the former Manchester United striker the most recognisable ‘marquee' signing so far for Australia's A-League.

For whether it's other A-League clubs' failure or their refusal to recruit a dedicated superstar payable outside the A$1.5m annual salary cap, the fact is Yorke is one of just three bone fide marquee signings to date – with only a month until the start of the inaugural A-League season.
