Anthony Yeboah: Ghana's Lethal Striker

Anthony Yeboah in action For Leeds United

Anthony Yeboah is one of the finest strikers that Africa has produced. Born in 1966, he is best remembered for his successful spells at Leeds United and Eintracht Frankfurt and Saarbrucken where he enjoyed a goal-laden, golden period of his career. 

After moving to Eintracht Frankfurt from Saarbrucken both in Germany, his goals, many of them spectacular, won over a skeptical fan base that had regularly made racist chants at him during the early days of his spell in Frankfurt.

At Leeds, he continued his rich vein of form, scoring some quite memorable goals including a spine-chilling volley against Liverpool, voted by most Leeds fans as the club's greatest goal ever.

In his second season, he was named the club's player of the season. He enjoyed a decade-long but trophy-scarce time as a Ghana International, scoring 29 goals in 59 appearances for the Black Stars and appearing in three African Cup of Nations tournaments.
