Roy Keane claims Dwight Yorke made his job easier at Sunderland after helping guide the Black Cats to promotion. The former Republic of Ireland international was appointed manager at the Stadium of Light with the Wearsiders in the Championship relegation zone.
The former Manchester United duo would reunite on Wearside as Sunderland paid around £200,000 for the striker who was playing for Sydney FC at the time. Keane has revealed how he talked York into signing for the Black Cats, leaving his Sydney penthouse behind.
The former Red Devils striker would score five times in 33 appearances for Keane and was a big part in the dressing room. Keane pinpoints Yorke's effect on the Sunderland dressing room as one of the factors that made his job easier.
