Leeds' All Time Greats: No 12 Tony Yeboah

Last updated : 18 February 2010 By Rick Broadbent

Tony Yeboah (1995-97) 66 apps, 32 goals

It was a brief affair but in the mid-1990s Tony Yeboah was the most incongruous thing Elland Road had seen since Queen pitched up a decade earlier and started singing about Fat Bottom Girls; this was long before Paul Robinson was in goal. The strikes against Wimbledon and Liverpool rank among the best scored in Leeds colours. Gorgeous George then continued a time-honoured Leeds tradition in deciding the best thing to do with a precocious goalscorer was to sell him.
