Former Man United star admits to sleeping with four women in 24 HOURS, filming X-rated video with a team-mate and inviting girls to the team's Christmas party before fed-up Sir Alex Ferguson got rid

Statistics alone rarely tell the full story of an athlete's career, but Dwight Yorke might just be the exception that proves the rule.

For the former Manchester United and Aston Villa man, football - like life - has been largely a numbers game.

As Yorke once remarked: 'If you play a fantastic game, score a couple of goals and then go home and make love to a beautiful woman, what more can a man ask for?'

There were a lot of goals; there were a lot of women.

A striker from the days before data analytics and VAR scrutiny drained football of spontaneity, when a forward's worth was weighed in the hard currency of goals rather than xG (expected goals), Yorke's career trajectory was easily explained by the numbers.
