Tony Yeboah

Tony Yeboah's reputation at Leeds rests on two goals scored 33 days apart in the autumn of 1995, and probably even more on the fact that nobody at Elland Road had seen the ball struck like that before or since.

He arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 1995, first on loan and then for a reported £3.4 million. He had scored 68 Bundesliga goals for Frankfurt and had twice finished as the Bundesliga's joint top scorer.

In the second half of 1994/95 he scored twelve league goals in 18 games for Leeds, including a hat-trick against Ipswich on 5 April 1995, and the club qualified for the UEFA Cup.

The first of the two goals came on 21 August 1995 against Liverpool at Elland Road. A headed pass dropped to him at the edge of the area and he volleyed it in off the underside of the crossbar past David James. It was the only goal of the game.

The second came on 23 September at Selhurst Park against Wimbledon. He controlled a poor defensive header on his chest and thigh, with defenders around him, and shot from outside the area, again in off the bar. It was his second of three that afternoon in a 4-2 win.

Between the two, on 12 September, he had scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 UEFA Cup win at Monaco.

The Wimbledon goal was voted BBC Goal of the Season for 1995/96. He won Goal of the Month for both September and October 1995, and no player won the award in consecutive months again until Gareth Bale in 2013.

He finished the season with 19 goals in all competitions and was voted Leeds' player of the year, the first winner from outside Britain. Leeds reached the League Cup final that March and lost 3-0 to Aston Villa. A knee injury ended his season early and he had surgery in August 1996.

George Graham replaced Howard Wilkinson in September 1996, judged Yeboah unfit, and rarely picked him. He played seven league games in 1996/97 without scoring.

Substituted in a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham in March 1997, he threw his shirt in the direction of the bench. He did not report for pre-season training that summer and was sold to Hamburg in September 1997 for about £1 million.

He has since said that he and Graham had, in his words, a misunderstanding, and that he still feels sad about the turn of events.

To this day, both goals remain two of the greatest scored in Premier League history.
