DWIGHT YORKE’s Christmas parties were quite the event among the Manchester United first team in the early 2000’s, according to Daniel Nardiello.
Yorke, 51, spent four years at Old Trafford from 1998 to 2002 and won several trophies – including three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the Champions League – with the Red Devils.

And while his performances on the pitch received raving reviews, his annual Christmas parties also proved to be a huge hit among teammates.
Yorke’s former United teammate, Nardiello, praised the ex-striker for his stellar celebrations during an interview for the Under The Cosh podcast.
He said: “He organised the Christmas dos as well, Dwight, and rightly so.
“I think the first one I ever went to there was like four or five strippers at Sugar Lounge.
“All the first team lads were nowhere to be seen. They were getting well away from it, so there was just like reserve team lads and a couple of youth team lads that were able to be there.
“They got Luke Chadwick and they was dancing all around him on the floor. He was just there smiling his head off.
“Dwight organised it all but the first team lads were all well away, they didn’t want anything to do with obviously the strippers.
“They were all married so they were behaving themselves. Dwight, he organised a good party.”

Chadwick graduated from Man Utd’s academy and made his professional debut for the club in 1999.
He made just 38 appearances for the Red Devils during his five-year stint and won two Premier League titles.
