Sydney striker and captain for the evening Dwight Yorke didn't reach the visitors dressing room at Suncorp stadium until 35 minutes after the final whistle as he happily signed autographs for scores of fans - young and old alike.

"I'm happy to do it," said Yorke as he made sure everyone who wanted his signature received it. Even once he was in the changerooms, officials held him up from getting changed with armfuls of thunder sticks to sign.

"No problem, I'll do it now," replied Yorke, who without any protection from the referee had been kicked from pillar to post by the Roar players.
