Yorke blocked

Football: Former Sydney FC marquee man and Manchester United ambassador Dwight Yorke has been denied entry into the United State because of an Iranian stamp in his passport. Yorke, who had worked the previous day for BeIN Sports as a pundit on United’s Europa League win over French club St Etienne, confirmed the story to Sky Sports after colleague Richard Keys tweeted the news. The Iranian stamp in Yorke’s passport related to him playing in a charity match in Tehran, in 2015. That charity match in Tehran featured Yorke on a World Stars team that also included Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Fabio Cannavaro, Marcel Desailly and Edgar Davids.
