Dwight Yorke

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke spent one season with Sydney FC, in which he added the A-League Championship to his decorated collection of accolades.

Yorke scored seven goals in the 2005/06 season, the last of which came from the penalty spot in a 2-1 victory over Adelaide United.

At the age of 34, Yorke signed for English Championship side Sunderland in 2006, where he was managed by former United teammate Roy Keane.

The Black Cats won promotion back to the Premier League in Yorke’s first season with the club, in which the Trinidad and Tobago international made 32 league appearances.

Yorke spent two more years at Sunderland in the Premier League before retiring in 2009. The former Champions League winner, now 45, has since completed his Level B coaching badge and does punditry work for Sky Sports.

Pierre Littbarski (Manager)

World Cup winner Pierre Littbarski earned a place in Sydney FC’s Hall of Fame, after guiding The Sky Blues to the inaugural A-League Championship in 2006.

The former German international spent just one season with Sydney before his shock departure in 2006- amid reports of a reduced contract offer from the club.
