When Man United went on a pre-season tour of Australia in 1999, Sir Alex stayed at home - and Dwight was unstoppable. "There can`t be anywhere with so many beautiful women as Australia," he says. "At our Melbourne hotel, we were under curfew with no visitors allowed and security guards in the lifts just to make sure.
"On my first morning there, I got what would be a regular room call from Albert the kit man - checking up and casting his eye around for signs of revelry.
"There were none. Or so he thought. After we`d chatted a while he left not realising that all that time there was a girl hiding under the bedsheets!" But Dwight had his eyes on a particular prize - Aussie supermodel Gabby Richens, known as the "Pleasure Machine". The two of them met on a night out and eventually he got her back to his hotel. There was just the small matter of security to get past. Dwight reveals: "That meant I had to get one of Australia`s most photographed women past the lift guard. I told him, `Listen, mate, I`ve got Gabby coming up. The Pleasure Machine.`

"His eyes nearly popped out of his head. I gave him 100 US dollars to let her through but would have parted with a year`s win bonuses if necessary. We had a spectacular night."
