People say his Liverpool goal was his best, are they serious? The skill in the Wimbledon goal was immense, he used his head, his chest, his thigh, a burst of speed and then unleashed a complete missile into the top corner. Best PL goal ever, had it have been scored against Man U or Arsenal, people would have been raving about it for years.
What made the Liverpool goal so impressive is that he clips the underside of the crossbar, which is almost impossible to do considering the angle and trajectory that the ball approaches the goal with
He almost lost control of the ball against Wimbledon but the control in the volley against Liverpool was world class and to volley it out of the reach of one of the best keepers in the league at the time is impressive
From memory he was top goal scorer two years running in the Bundesliga but had a really bad knee injury and missed a season ? think that was the reason only Leeds came in for him to bring him over here.
I support Reading, but always admired Yeboah those last 2 goals are fabulous. I used to work with a guy from Ghana who had followed him from the beginning and when Yeboah went to Leeds he told me to watch Yeboah to become a UK star - I think the goal against Liverpool was the most spectacular !
back in the day when strikers actually tried to get past players and shoot, rather than dropping like a sack of potatoes screaming like you've stabbed looking for free kicks or penalties.
I was there for that last goal, incredible. The fella had the most ferocious shot. During that game he shot from the halfway line after Wimbledon had scored and the ball was still rising as it went over the crossbar by about 6 inches. What we could do with someone like him now...
The final goal is literally a moment of pure magic because Tony conjured up the opportunity to strike the ball in that way from nothing. The part of the goal which excites me the most is not final strike, but his third and forth touches which took him past the defender with poetic ease. His directness and ability to confront the opposing team head on, believing that his intuition could show him a way through was truly inspiring for me. Goals 1 & 2 won 1st and 3rd place in goal of the season on MOTD. Would love to know which goal came 2nd.
Thanks for sharing Ben, I didn't know that! Number1 is one of my favorite goals ever, period. I think the more times I watch it the better it gets, absolutely mesmerizing. Cheers!
Even when i was a kid i knew that these two goals where the best ever. The one against Liverpool as the ball falls he adjusts like a quabillion times like some sort of quantum computer and then just BANGS it. The one against Wimbledon should need no words. These goals are so iconic they should have a place in the National gallery. I didn’t support Leeds but I definitely supported Tony.
i enjoy rewatching clips of tony yeboah. some of his goals are so satisfying to watch. the guy is a legend. both the top 2 are goals every striker dreams of scoring when they're a kid. it's why he looks so happy as he's celebrating them. his dream came true!
Absolute legend. He nearly broke the net with that first one. The debate over which was his best will probably last forever. For me, his strike vs Wimbledon beats the Liverpool goal.
Such memories. To be there watching that team. I took my niece to the Wimbledon game for her birthday. I think the Wimbledon goal shades it... the Liverpool goal was on TV, so everyone saw it.
I took an Australia (female) friend to see the Wimbledon match and on seeing the goal said to her "well, you've just seen goal of the season!" ....it was her first ever football match and she replied "why's that?"!!
Welcome back to the Premier league! King Yeboah scoring the best goal against LFC for me... not easy to connect..venom power and beat a very tall David James off the bar
Does no one remember that his goals against Liverpool then Wimbledon came week after week, simultaneously. Also, this was the same season daniel amokachi's brace stunned then destroyed Spurs at Ellen Road in that FA cup semi finial.
Definitely not a Leeds fan but that last goal is one of those goals that should be worth double 👏👏👏 (only joking fifa, don't mess football up anymore than you already have)
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH YEBOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH true eintracht legend -- they don't make strikers like him anymore. the only player to score the "goal of the season" in the premierleague back to back. some say that goal number 2 is better -- if it stood on its own, i'd probably agree -- but the buildup of number 1, the ball control, the fluid motion and ultimately the unleashing of a ballistic missile all coalesce into a moment of football perfection that many hype idols like ronaldo and messi would like to emulate, but can only dream about. as the commentator quite succintly said: »EVEN BY HIS STANDARDS, BREATHTAKINGLY BRILLIANT.« tony yeboah? no competition.
The most surprising thing to me is that he didn't arrive in the EPL until he was 29. His stats were 0.51 goals per game up to that point with Saarbrucken and Frankfurt respectively. I honestly thought he would have been on the radar of Europe's top clubs before the age of 29.
#2 volley is better than #1. Leeds' fall down the leagues is extremely tragic. But they are now #1 in (very early) Championship! Let's see if they'll be consistent for a promotion in May 2019!
Lol, by the way he was left footed and scored two of his best goals with his right, when i say he was a superior center forward than Asamoah Gyan people dont understand lol... If you know a thing or two about putting the ball in the back of the net, its not even a conversation.
Such a sweet striker of the ball with either foot.Wonder how much he'd be worth in today's transfer market?Used to love watching him play back in the day.
should have done top 6 and had the goal against Man U when we beat 3-1 at Elland Road, I has a season ticket for Leeds when Yeboah was there and got to witness him live, including that Liverpool volley
I have never, EVER seen two better goals than the final two. I would even put Maradona vs England behind them. There are no adjectives in the English language to do them justice.
![Tony Yeboah, Yegoala [Best Goals]](/img/n.gif)
Those last 2 goals are without doubt, 2 of the best goals ever scored in EPL.
Daniel Messruther ikr! The last one is an absolute wonder!! Can't get enough of it. What a beauty.
and for sure the best goals of his insane career
That dude was a machine!
One of the best African footballers to grace these shores for me...
Both of them scored with his right foot. Not bad for a left-footed player.
Granted but they're Wrong Way Round. The Wombles Goal Should be No2 And The Goal V Liverpool Should Be N01

Dean Krol do you play?
What made the Liverpool goal so impressive is that he clips the underside of the crossbar, which is almost impossible to do considering the angle and trajectory that the ball approaches the goal with
One of the best. Le Tissier had loads good too.
He almost lost control of the ball against Wimbledon but the control in the volley against Liverpool was world class and to volley it out of the reach of one of the best keepers in the league at the time is impressive
The testie popper from Martin Tyler to compliment the No.1 goal 😂
Leeds fans will always love Tony Yeboah. Fabulous player, one of the best to ever play for leeds. and i mean ever.
So we do in Frankfurt, too!
He’s my dads cousin
Scored 194 goals out of career 411 games. Amazing .
back then, whenever kids scored off the underside of the bar......we called it a 'Yeboah'.
"Yeboah of the month"
We called "Yeaboah shoot"
Yeah we also called it a 'yeboah special' 😁
Haha I asked a mate just yesterday whether kids still call it a ‘Yeboah’....probably showing our age!
We did too, we used to aim for the bar. 😂😂
My greatest ever Leeds player! He was dynamite 🧨 such a talent with freakish power
he was a worldclass striker in frankfurt already, only germans and parts of africa acknowledged that before he moved to leeds
From memory he was top goal scorer two years running in the Bundesliga but had a really bad knee injury and missed a season ? think that was the reason only Leeds came in for him to bring him over here.
that last goal is absolute fucking poetry in motion....ball on a string
I support Reading, but always admired Yeboah those last 2 goals are fabulous. I used to work with a guy from Ghana who had followed him from the beginning and when Yeboah went to Leeds he told me to watch Yeboah to become a UK star - I think the goal against Liverpool was the most spectacular !
We need more players that take these kind of opportunities. Leeds had them. Lorrimer another classic example.

Matt le tissue...
The chop inside then perfect touch off his knee, without changing stride, is almost unbelievable.
Tony was the man. Jimmy Floyd. Cantona. We had some strikers through Leeds.
Very true.
@Limp business You feeling ok? What were you smoking when you posted that?
For that last goal, he made 3 split decisions in just a little over a second. Let that sink in.....
Even when i was a kid i knew that these two goals where the best ever.

The firecracker against Reds is the best goal in PL history. He was special and wiĺl always be in our LEEDS hearts.
MOT
only tony Yeboah can score the top 2 best goals in all of premier league history in the space of 6 weeks
No 1 for me is the best goal ever made. Dennis berkamp goal agianst Newcastle close second thanks anthony u are a legend.
Such a killer instinct and just smashes em in, God I loved Yeboah!
i came to see that last goal..had to be #1 ..magisterial!
+Sean Small Thanks Sean. I randomly watch this video from time to time just to remind myself how beautiful that goal was aha!
+metin2stalker wonder where depay locates himself among these old stars
Sean Small I came just for the last goal my dad was at this game and he said it was great!!
This fella absolutely world class! (From a gooner)
how do you even strike a ball that hard? fantastic goals.
gajsedgley The Yeboah effect ;)
@Martin, lol
Ask Roberto Carlos :)
Such an underrated player.
No. 4 - 'And that one will take some beating'
Yeboah - 'Hold my beer'
Absolute legend. He nearly broke the net with that first one.
The debate over which was his best will probably last forever.
For me, his strike vs Wimbledon beats the Liverpool goal.
A proper centre forward
August 19 1995 against Liverpool, the best goal I've ever seen in the premiership despite being nearly 22 years old
I'm Nearly 54,(In January) And 2 Of My Favorite Goals V Liverpool were That One From Yeboah And The Late Justin Fashanu (R.I.P), For Norwich.
Of course number 1 is number one, the greatest goal ever seen by a Leeds player. Just stunning. Love that man!!
He was Unstoppable by then and he was loved by all , what a great player from Ghana 🇬🇭
I used to shout yeboah before I took a shot when I was a kid my favourite Leeds player 💛💙
As a Liverpool fan this goal has stuck in my head like it was stuck in the net.....unforgettable, had to come and revisit it on the Tube.
He always made the goalkeepers felt like they have been knocked out in a boxing ring fight rather than looking like disappointed goalkeepers😁😁😁👀😜
Very true, lol!
🤣🤣🤣 that’s what I noticed
Before the Drogba's and Eto's there was Tony Yeboah
That last goal.... ou weee!!
Such memories. To be there watching that team. I took my niece to the Wimbledon game for her birthday. I think the Wimbledon goal shades it... the Liverpool goal was on TV, so everyone saw it.
Some utterly ridiculously brilliant finishes.
The purest striker of a football of all time, the power and precision is ridiculous
I took an Australia (female) friend to see the Wimbledon match and on seeing the goal said to her "well, you've just seen goal of the season!" ....it was her first ever football match and she replied "why's that?"!!
Probably one of best volleyer of the game
Best goals in the epl hands down that is a striker at his best what a man 💛💙💛💙
He was Leeds very own ...Eusabio! Breathtaking Goals! Absolutely Brilliant!
R.I.P Gary Speed. Legend of leeds and many other clubs.
Absolute weapon 🚀
Me growing up in the nineties and scoring a goal off the crossbar: YEBOAH!
I had no idea that was a thing 😂
@@metin2stalker In the mid/late 90's, a kid wanted to score the "Yeboah" the "Poborský" and the "Gascoigne"
@@leoncook2285 Im assuming you live in the Um, here it was more about the likes of Figo, Pauleta and Ronaldinho 😅
@@metin2stalker what is the Um? I grew up in England then moved to us
@@leoncook2285 I meant the UK, typo 🤣
Always remember that number two volley. Still the best, went just how he meant it.
The Wimbledon goal was a week after the liverpool goal! I remember listening to the match on the radio as a kid.
pure magic
One of the amazing things about him was that he was naturally left - not right - footed. And, he scored goals like these regularly also for Frankfurt.
eintracht. frankfurt is a different side.
Brilliant just brilliant
What a talent! Wonder how much a striker like Yeboah would be worth now.
lol... right
Welcome back to the Premier league! King Yeboah scoring the best goal against LFC for me... not easy to connect..venom power and beat a very tall David James off the bar
GREAT PLAYER,GREAT GOALS
Most amazing fact that most miss - is the fact that these are dual footed - incredible
The last 2 goals, take a fucking bow son.
Best goals ever them last two we used to try them in primary school
Tony Yeboah absolute Leeds United goal machine.....a truly special striker.
What an amazing player!
Mr Tony Yeboah.
Nuff said
number one...goal keeper was like are youuuuu seriouuuuus??dammn
clearly unstoppable
I saw #1 that day & the power in the shot was stunning. It would have took off a man's head.
Damn. We so badly needed a player like Tony Yeboah last season. He would have scored the goals to get the points needed to stay up.
Simply wonderful!
PS: love the old fashion prem nets
Love this guy
Whether you're an LUFC fan or not the finishing is absolute top class
The pace he gets on the ball with he’s goals
Does no one remember that his goals against Liverpool then Wimbledon came week after week, simultaneously. Also, this was the same season daniel amokachi's brace stunned then destroyed Spurs at Ellen Road in that FA cup semi finial.
The dude was really putting the goal Keepers through their paces,😁😁😁😁😁
i remember watching the number 1 goal live and i went mad
What is amazing is that Yeboah was really a natutal left-footer! - not right. Also he was regarded as the best striker in Germany while at Frankfurt.
the womble goal is my all time favourite goal from any player in any league
Just awesome. ..boro fan
Yeboah was amazing but only as good as the balls fed to him by Gary McAllister, the premiership's most underrated midfielder.
What a player :)
What a great goalscorer
5 great goals
Only Matt Le Tissier could match this.😊😁
I would say that Yeboah was pure force and Le Tissier was finesse.
@@Ivan_Ardon spot on mate 🤙
My favourite player ever....tony the tiger was a fucking beast.....DEADLY...we are leeds
That touch to take it around 15, Jesus.
Wow. Just wow. Wish he was back in the premiership.
One word (unreal) 💛💙
The last goal is sheer brulliance
Last goal-unbelievable. Haven't seen a better goal...........keeper had no chance
A reminder that Leeds were once good and will be again.
I'm watching match of the day tonight top 10 premiership goals ever. This goal (number 1 or 2 for that matter) HAS to be in there!
One of the best to brace the prem
Legend MOT
Definitely not a Leeds fan but that last goal is one of those goals that should be worth double 👏👏👏 (only joking fifa, don't mess football up anymore than you already have)
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH YEBOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

What a great insight, I didn't realize that either. Thanks!
He was actually paid 200000 Deutsche marks by Frankfurt not to sign for bayern Munich. Frans berkenbeur wanted him badly in bayern.
#2 volley is better than #1.
Leeds' fall down the leagues is extremely tragic.
But they are now #1 in (very early) Championship! Let's see if they'll be consistent for a promotion in May 2019!
Kermit The answer is no

I have never, EVER seen two better goals than the final two. I would even put Maradona vs England behind them. There are no adjectives in the English language to do them justice.
Not Leeds’ greatest striker - but certainly the striker of Leeds’ greatest goals.
Last 2 are proper iconic premier league strikes
When I was a kid if a bounce score with a goal bar was called a yeboah score!!
