Behind the chant
When was Tony Yeboah first sung?
Built up across Yeboah's Leeds career, January 1995 to summer 1997 (he left for Hamburger SV that summer and retired in 2002). Player of the Year 1995/96. The chant survives because the goals do, especially the Wimbledon Goal of the Season volley and the Liverpool Goal of the Month a month earlier.
What's the story behind Tony Yeboah?
Yeboah's 3 hat-tricks in 1995 came against Ipswich (April, 4-0 win at Elland Road), Monaco (UEFA Cup, 12 September), and Wimbledon (Selhurst Park, 23 September). The Wimbledon hat-trick included the BBC Goal of the Season; the Liverpool volley a month earlier had taken Goal of the Month.
