Teddy Sheringham opened up on the most expensive game of golf he and Dwight Yorke played at Manchester United - and Sir Alex Ferguson was the one who charged them. The pair were key figures in the legendary 1999 Treble-winning team for the Red Devils. Their goals helped propel United to the club's greatest ever campaign, particularly Sheringham who scored the vital equaliser in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Yet, as loved as they were on the red side of Manchester, they were not exempt from Ferguson's disciplined culture, which demanded as much excellence and dedication away from the pitch as on it. With the knowledge that their boss always knew when a player went on a night out, Sheringham and Yorke thought the Scot's gaze may not reach the golf course. To their expense, they found out the hard way that Ferguson had eyes everywhere. On Golf Life, Sheringham said: "Sven Goran Eriksson always said, 'you want to go and play golf, no problem', even on the day before a game. Sir Alex Ferguson, not a chance, even three days beforehand. He loved golf, but he didn't like his players playing golf. "He actually fined me and Yorkey a week's wages for playing golf on a Thursday afternoon, the weekend before we played Aston Villa. He knew everything that was going on in Manchester, don't worry about that. If the boys were out in a nightclub, he knew. "If the boys were going back down to London, he knew. We were playing golf, bit silly of us on a Thursday afternoon after training. He came in after the game, we both played, we beat Aston Villa 2-0, Yorkie scored, we both played well. "He came straight over to me and he went 'well played son!' I replied 'cheers gaffer'. And he said 'did you play golf on Thursday?' So he knows. I've gone 'yeah', and he said 'you're fined a week's wages'. "I was like, 'oh leave it out gaffer, we've just won', and he went 'you're fined a week's wages son, you're not playing golf here on a Thursday afternoon'. "He walked across the dressing room to Yorkey and says to him, 'well played son, good goal. Did you play golf on Thursday afternoon?' Yorkey looked across to me and I've gone 'I've said yes'. He said 'I did gaffer', and he (Ferguson) went, 'you're fined a week's wages as well' and he was like, 'oh gaffer, come on, don't be silly, I just scored'. "He was like 'you ain't doing that son, you're here to play football'. And that was it. We did not play golf on a Thursday afternoon anymore." Losing a week's wages was a drop in the ocean for the duo, who went on to win every club trophy available with the Red Devils. Yorke clinched the FA Cup, three Premier League titles and the Champions League during his stint at Old Trafford.
