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
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 !
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.
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!
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...
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?"!!
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.
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.
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
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.
#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!
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.
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
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.
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.

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
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 .
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.
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 😂
that last goal is absolute fucking poetry in motion....ball on a string
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. 😂😂
only tony Yeboah can score the top 2 best goals in all of premier league history in the space of 6 weeks
For that last goal, he made 3 split decisions in just a little over a second. Let that sink in.....
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 !
No. 4 - 'And that one will take some beating'
Yeboah - 'Hold my beer'
Before the Drogba's and Eto's there was Tony Yeboah
how do you even strike a ball that hard? fantastic goals.
gajsedgley The Yeboah effect ;)
@Martin, lol
Ask Roberto Carlos :)
Such an underrated player.
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?
A proper centre forward
Even when i was a kid i knew that these two goals where the best ever.

No 1 for me is the best goal ever made. Dennis berkamp goal agianst Newcastle close second thanks anthony u are a legend.

Matt le tissue...
The chop inside then perfect touch off his knee, without changing stride, is almost unbelievable.
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 firecracker against Reds is the best goal in PL history. He was special and wiĺl always be in our LEEDS hearts.
MOT
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.
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
R.I.P Gary Speed. Legend of leeds and many other clubs.
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?"!!
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.
This fella absolutely world class! (From a gooner)
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 used to shout yeboah before I took a shot when I was a kid my favourite Leeds player 💛💙
Of course number 1 is number one, the greatest goal ever seen by a Leeds player. Just stunning. Love that man!!
That last goal.... ou weee!!
The last 2 goals, take a fucking bow son.
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!!
Best goals in the epl hands down that is a striker at his best what a man 💛💙💛💙
Probably one of best volleyer of the game
Best goals ever them last two we used to try them in primary school
number one...goal keeper was like are youuuuu seriouuuuus??dammn
clearly unstoppable
Always remember that number two volley. Still the best, went just how he meant it.
Such a killer instinct and just smashes em in, God I loved Yeboah!
He was Leeds very own ...Eusabio! Breathtaking Goals! Absolutely Brilliant!
What an amazing player!
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 🤣
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.
What a talent! Wonder how much a striker like Yeboah would be worth now.
lol... right
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.
Some utterly ridiculously brilliant finishes.
i remember watching the number 1 goal live and i went mad
He was Unstoppable by then and he was loved by all , what a great player from Ghana 🇬🇭
The Wimbledon goal was a week after the liverpool goal! I remember listening to the match on the radio as a kid.
pure magic
My favourite player ever....tony the tiger was a fucking beast.....DEADLY...we are leeds
I saw #1 that day & the power in the shot was stunning. It would have took off a man's head.
The dude was really putting the goal Keepers through their paces,😁😁😁😁😁
Whether you're an LUFC fan or not the finishing is absolute top class
Brilliant just brilliant
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.
A reminder that Leeds were once good and will be again.
Most amazing fact that most miss - is the fact that these are dual footed - incredible
GREAT PLAYER,GREAT GOALS
Mr Tony Yeboah.
Nuff said
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
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.
he was a worldclass striker in frankfurt already, only germans and parts of africa acknowledged that before he moved to leeds
The last goal is sheer brulliance
The pace he gets on the ball with he’s goals
Tony Yeboah absolute Leeds United goal machine.....a truly special striker.
Yeboah was amazing but only as good as the balls fed to him by Gary McAllister, the premiership's most underrated midfielder.
That touch to take it around 15, Jesus.
What a player :)
Last goal-unbelievable. Haven't seen a better goal...........keeper had no chance
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)
Simply wonderful!
PS: love the old fashion prem nets
Fuckin lethal he was
Just awesome. ..boro fan
What a great goalscorer
Two footed strikers are the most dangerous
One of the best to brace the prem
One word (unreal) 💛💙
5 great goals
When I was a kid if a bounce score with a goal bar was called a yeboah score!!
Wow. Just wow. Wish he was back in the premiership.
Legend MOT
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.
So fucking true!!
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!
#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
Guy had TNT in both his feet
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.
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.
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
Last 2 are proper iconic premier league strikes
Not Leeds’ greatest striker - but certainly the striker of Leeds’ greatest goals.
number 3 gets overshadowed by number 2 and 1
#2 is better than #1. Because it’s more iconic 20 years later
It's more iconic indeed, but #1 is an absolute banger. Up to this day I have yet to see a similar goal!
I'd say 1 due to the sheer power he puts into it
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.
The last goal still looks fast in slow motion
Raw power!
He really could hit em
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.
Oooooooh Tony yaboah
Tony Yeboah walked on water.
The technique to hit the ball on the full against Liverpool makes it the better goal imo. Also, easily the more iconic goal.
Mathew Aconley more iconic than versus Wimbledon? I’ve never seen a goal like it.
Also in the German Bundesliga memory goals
