The first local mobile operator and provider of mobile Internet in Azerbaijan, Bakcell is pleased to announce that the legendary striker of FC Manchester United (England) Dwight Yorke visit Baku in the framework of partnership between these structures.
As the press-service of Bakcell, veteran club Dwight Yorke, nicknamed "Smiling Assassin" - one of the main characters of the most memorable of the season when United won three trophies at once. Going to the club of "Aston Villa" in September 1998, this striker from Trinidad and Tobago was the top scorer in his debut season, scoring 29 goals, while "devils" have won all possible titles. Mutual understanding between York and Andy Cole on the field makes them one of the best offensive tandems in the history of football.
Later, after joining the team by Ruud Van Nistelroy, the role of York in the team diminished, but he will forever become an icon in the hearts of many fans after his fantastic hat-trick in 22 minutes in the game against Arsenal. Dwight left Old Trafford in 2002, but his return to the stadium as an opponent every time warmly welcomed by appreciative audiences.
As a special guest Bakcell, Dwight Yorke will take part in several events, including the match organized by AFFA May 1 between veterans and the local football world, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev, as well as a charity auction organized by Bakcell May 3.
Funds raised during the auction will be donated to UNICEF, to help children in need.
