Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke wasn't allowed to board a Miami bound flight from Doha airport because of President Trump's immigration policy.
The 45-year-old, who was born in Trinitad and Tobago, felt 'like a criminal' when he was barred from the United States of America because he played a friendly match in 2015 in Iran.
The Muslim country is one of the seven - Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Sudan - that was indicated in the ban made by President Donald Trump.
The new president of the United States signed a controversial decree in late January to prohibit the entry of people from several Muslim-majority countries, within three months.
On February 3, a U.S. judge blocked this veto on a temporary basis until a final decision was made.
"Two policemen stopped me and explained that there was a problem with my passport, which had a stamp from Iran," Yorke explained.
"I was warned that if I entered in the United States, they would send me back to Qatar.
"I tried to explain to them that I was trying to get home to the Caribbean," the 1999 Champions League winner said.
