  • Chemistry.
    The main reason why you can't throw together a group of star players and expect them to perform wonders on the field. If the chemistry isn't there, chances are that the results won't follow.
    If you saw these two play together, you know exactly what I mean when I say that they're relationship was as close to telepathy as us mere humans can ever hope to achieve.
    In their prime, they linked together to form one of the most potent strike partnerships that Europe has ever seen
    Which brings us to the question of the day; how good were Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke?

    • @westington1
      @westington1 Před 3 měsíci

      Cole was amazing, but suffered from playing at a time England had Shearer and Sheringham up front, then later Owen and Fowler too…..
      Also was seen as moody and wasn’t loved by the Utd crowd at all (amazingly being seen as a bit of a flop, despite scoring regularly)
      When Yorke came along - who was just an amazingly likeable character - Cole started smiling and really started to be embraced by the crowd.
      He was just quite stoic, but clearly that was shyness in retrospect.
      Suffered from not scoring that goal that would have won us the title, and was seen as this moody and ungrateful player.
      Yorkie coming along just changed all that - and he was amazing for us from then on.

I became a football fan in the 90's after the 94 world cup and being in the US it was hard to get any decent news and coverage of European football but then the internet changed everything. I pretty much spent all my free time in college reading up on everything going on in the European leagues. Your videos are amazingly well done and bring back many good memories of discovering professional football in my late teens and early 20s.

    It's nice that we are living in a time where it's very easy to find a lot videos of classic matches. I only remembered this duo vaguely because I was still very young at that time. And watching old highlights was a nice reminder of how good they were. Not just them, the entire Manchester Lineup back then was great. Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Yorke, Cole, Sheringham, even Nicky Butt. They complemented each other perfectly.

    looking back at that season as a non utd fan, i have to say it was the greatest team i ever had the pleasure of seeing. at that time for an english team to win a champs lg was almost impossible.
    from my 1st knowledge of footy in the 92/93 season up to now. no group of players has come close for me. arsenal invincibles are close but they didn't do the treble.

    Unbelievable front 2 they were and to think Utd went for Patrick kluivert before Yorke and if Kluvert never turned them down. I don't think they would have done what they did that year. They had an almost telepathic way of playing together Cole and Yorke. Definitely up there with the Shearer/Sutton & Bergkamp/Henry best Premier league front 2. Cole's only problem was he needed 4/5 chances to score 1 and Glen Hoodle even said that's why he never picked him much for England. Still a fantastic player IMO. 94 Ajax team video would be nice sometime, please.

    Peak Andrew Cole would be great leading the line for United right now. He was a complete forward. Could play with his back to goal. Beat the offside trap. Great control and first touch. Could play others through. Pretty much nearly everything in Martial and Rashford's games and the bits they were missing. Cole was exellent. Some or his best goals were goals against Leeds, Aston Villa in 1998-99, the overhead kick in 2000. Oh and he scored 5 against Ipswich.
