Tony Yeboah

Tony - Tony Yeboah - Tony Yeboah - Tony Yebo-o-ah! The chant that rang around the grounds of England for two great years. The big Ghanaian joined Leeds from Eintracht Frankfurt for £3.4 million at the start of 1995 and soon got about the business of terrorising opposition defences. At the start of 1995-96, he had more or less wrapped up the goal of the season competition with a cracking 25-yard volley against Liverpool, and several other world-class goals showed us what a gem we'd got. A hat-trick in Monaco in the UEFA Cup proved it again. Unfortunately, that proved to be the high spot. Injuries - several picked up while on international duty - restricted his game when he played and kept him out of the side on too many occasions. And when George Graham took over, the dour Scotsman couldn't put up with the fact that he wasn't the biggest man in the club, so Yeboah had to go. He returned to Germany and was still playing and scoring for several years after that.

Robby Mitchell says: Tony was an excellent player and it's a pity that he didn't stay in the league for longer.

Sukhjit Singh says: I worked with Antony Yeboah's cousin, Glenn Yeboah. This was for Work Experience at Somerfields, Leicester.

Peter Ellis says: Tony Yeboah is a legend and should be remembered at Elland Road for many years to come. He was amazing when he was at Leeds. It is worth paying just to see the man play. LONG LIVE TONY YEBOAH!

Jonty Rees says: Did you know that his nephew, Freddy Adu, is a 13yr old phenom in the US. Plays for the US U17 National team, and is scoring many goals against full pro teams from the MLS in practice games? Watch this kid - he could lead the US to great things in World Cups to come.

sean says: where is he now ?

Aussie Football fan says: There was one goal Tony scored that matched - even surpassed that classic volley against Liverpool. It was against Wimbledon in the same year I think (It was No. 1 of the Top 10 goals in the Premier League that season)and a very similar goal in the fact that it hit the underside of the crossbar before it went in - except he juggled the ball past 2 defenders before he took the shot(I remember Leeds won the game 4-2) It was THE best goal I have ever seen and probably will see and a memory that will stay in my mind for the rest of my days. Brilliant stuff

Melon Terrence says: I once met Tony and he told me that football was like a drug to him. I love Tony Yeboah and rumour has it Freddy Adu (the young prodigy) is his nephew!

Victor Bonsu-Prempeh says: I remember that shimmering star;muscled and sweaty with unpredictable aura. His moves whilst with the ball is like concord in the sky and the satisfaction emanating from his goals is like honey nectar downed in your throat. The goal against Ivorian team during the African cup of nations in South African is my most memorable goal of him. He is the best goal scorer Africa had ever produced.Tony, I am in the U.S and Also a student at Connecticut. I hope to see you thrive forever .

shane parry says: wot a legend

Tom from York says: Tony Yeboah has got to have been the ULTIMATE player ever!!! Through his years at Leeds he must have had the BEST goal ever scored in football history where he was over 30 yards out and he hit the under side of the crossbar and it then went in. Its all Howard Wilkinson's fault he left. What ever happened to Tony? Jabba says: Tony left when George Graham was manager, not Wilko.

Dave Duff says: Tony Yeboah! what a class player he was!! Best goal ever for me against Liverpool when i was younger ( and im a Liverpool fan ). Only a 1 season wonder but would have been a premiership star only for george graham to spoil things! King of the Crossbars ;)

Fred A says: Remember watching the Monaco Yeboah hat-trick game: happened to around at my parents neighbours in France at the time and remember telling them before the game that Yeboah would win the match for us. Lo and behold, though can't really remember much detail tho seem to recall there was an overhead kick involved. French TV did an v amusing pre-match chalkboard analysis of the team game plans, Monaco's involving a million dots and arrows going in no discernable direction, Leeds' consisting of 3 dots and 2 arrows going from goal to midfield to goal! :-) Those were the days!

Kingsley Addai-Boateng says: He was one of the best and I'm absolutely surprised he was not included in Pele's best 125 living players list!

Ghanaman says: Tony Yeboah payed his dues to Eintrantcht Frankfurt and Leeds but when it came done to the National Team ghanaians had to get down on their knees to see him perform. Watch out for Isaac Boakye of Aminia Bielifield who is following in his footsteps...arrogant but delivers.
