Timeline
Anthony Yeboah (born 6 June 1966) is a Ghanaian former professional footballer who played as a striker.
He is considered one of the most prominent and prolific goal scorers in Ghanaian and African football history and gained a reputation for scoring spectacular goals which often featured in Goal of the Month or Goal of the Season competitions, often celebrated by wagging his index finger towards the crowd.
After spending his youth in Kumasi, Yeboah joined German club 1. FC Saarbrücken in 1988.
This move was of some historical significance, because Yeboah became one of the first black players to appear in the Bundesliga.
Yeboah had a slow first year, but then scored 17 league goals in his second Saarbrücken year.
Yeboah is most noted for his time at European clubs 1. FC Saarbrücken, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds United and Hamburger SV during the 1990s.
He also played for Asante Kotoko, Cornerstones Kumasi, Okwawu United and Al-Ittihad Doha.
He was capped 59 times by Ghana, scoring 29 goals.
He now runs an international sports agency and a chain of hotels in Ghana.
Yeboah moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1990, where he was at first booed by a section of fans and—being the first black player the team had ever signed—subjected to monkey-noises and other racist insults.
In the Hesse metropolis, Yeboah quickly established himself as a deadly striker, silencing all critics, and became the first African Bundesliga club captain.
He was a member of Ghana's national team for over ten years, and represented his country at three Africa Cup of Nations during the 1990s.
He won the Bundesliga golden boot on two occasions in 1992–93, 1993–94 playing for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Yeboah was born in Kumasi, Ghana.
He was the top Bundesliga scorer twice with Eintracht, in 1993 and 1994.
Yeboah joined English club Leeds United from Eintracht Frankfurt for £3.4 million in January 1995, scoring 12 times in 21 league appearances as Leeds finished fifth in the FA Premier League and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
In his second season at Elland Road he was voted Player of the Year.
Yeboah scored a total of 32 goals for Leeds United in 66 appearances, and is still revered as a cult hero for the Yorkshire club due to a series of memorable goals he scored.
His volley against Liverpool and his strike versus Wimbledon in the 1995–96 season were among his most notable goals, and he was a regular feature in Goal of the Month in the Premier League.
The goal against Wimbledon was awarded Goal of the Season in 1995–96.
He also scored three hat-tricks for Leeds; the first against Ipswich Town in the Premier League at Elland Road on 5 April 1995, which made him only the third foreign player to score a league hat-trick for Leeds (Cantona v Tottenham in August 1992 was the first, and Phil Masinga three months earlier in an FA Cup tie).
Yeboah's second hat-trick came against Monaco in the 1995–96 UEFA Cup on 12 September 1995, and the third 11 days later in the Premier League match against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park which included the aforementioned Goal of the Season.
A video was released named ‘Yeboah – Shoot to Kill’ while he was at Leeds.
Injuries (several picked up while on international duty) restricted his game when he played and kept him out of the Leeds side on several occasions.
When George Graham took over as manager, there was a clash of personalities and Yeboah was sold to Hamburger SV in September 1997, having played just six times in the 1996-97 season under Graham.
Yeboah joined German club Hamburger SV and remained there until 2001, scoring 28 goals.
On 3 November 2008, he was appointed as the new chairman of the newly promoted Ghana Premier League club Berekum Chelsea.
Yeboah along with his cousin former Mainz player Michael Osei runs an international sports agency called Anthony Yeboah Sportpromotion and owns a chain of hotels in Ghana (Accra, Kumasi) called Yegoala.
He is married and has two children.
African Cup of Nations only.
Until Gareth Bale equalled the feat in 2013, Yeboah was the only player ever to win successive BBC Match of the Day Goal of the Month competitions, doing so in September and October 1995.
He told Newstalk's Team 33 in 2014 that his favourite goal was the one he scored against Liverpool.
