That volley against Liverpool. That thunderbolt against Wimbledon. Tony Yeboah only needed a moment to make a whole stadium stop and stare.
Before England, the Ghanaian had done the hard yards in Germany. After Cornerstones he played for Saarbrücken and then Eintracht Frankfurt, where he finished as the Bundesliga's top scorer twice.
At Leeds United he scored 32 goals in 66 games. Two of them, against Liverpool and Wimbledon, come up whenever people pick the best Premier League goals, and the Liverpool volley still turns up in polls of the best of all time. He finished at Hamburg, and his career ran from 1981 to 2002.
The Liverpool volley and the Wimbledon strike
Number 21 follows tomorrow.
