On 05 January, 1995, Leeds United signed Ghana striker Tony Yeboah from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee of\u00a0\u00a33.4 million .\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his second season at Elland Road, he was voted Player of the Year; the club’s first-ever non-British Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

His volley against Liverpool and his strike versus Wimbledon in the 1995\u201396 season were among his notable goals and he was a regular feature in Goal of the Month in the Premier League at a time when the Georgian midfielder Georgi Kinkladze of Manchester City and Matt Le Tissier of Southampton also gained a reputation for scoring world class goals in the competition.<\/p>\n

The goal against Wimbledon was also awarded Goal of the Season in 1995\u201396. He also scored three hat-tricks for Leeds; the first against Ipswich Town in the Premier League at Elland Road on 5 April 1995, the second against Monaco in the 1995\u201396 UEFA Cup on 12 September 1995, and the third 11 days later in a Premier League match against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n
