Yeboah's volley: Leeds' goal of the decade and the tee it became

August 1995, Elland Road, a Monday night under the lights. Rod Wallace heads a loose ball forward, Tony Yeboah lets it bounce once, and then he hits it.

The goal

You've seen it. Everyone has seen it. The ball flies off the underside of the crossbar, bounces down over the line and into the roof of the net, and David James doesn't move. Liverpool 0, Leeds 1, and a strike that won Goal of the Season before September had started.

A few weeks later he did it again against Wimbledon, chest, thigh, volley, in off the bar. Two goals that would be career highlights for most players, scored within a month of each other by a man Leeds had signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for about three million quid.

Why Leeds fans still love him

Yeboah only played around 60 games for Leeds. He didn't need more. He arrived when the club was drifting after the title-winning side had broken up, and for eighteen months he gave Elland Road something to stand up for. Big, powerful, and with a strike on him that made goalkeepers flinch.

Ask any Leeds fan of a certain age about their favourite goal and you'll get one of two answers, and they're both Yeboah.

The design

The Legends in Thread Yeboah design is a simple embroidered outline of the moment the ball leaves his boot, with nothing else around it. No crest, no sponsor, no badge. It's small, it's stitched, and it sits on the chest of a tee, hoodie, sweatshirt or cap in Leeds colours or plain black.

I kept it minimal on purpose. The goal doesn't need decoration. If you were there, or if you've watched it a hundred times on YouTube like the rest of us, the outline is enough.

The Yeboah design comes as an organic cotton tee, a hoodie, a sweatshirt and a cap. All made to order in the UK.

More Elland Road legends, including Billy Bremner, Gordon Strachan and Jermaine Beckford, are in the Leeds United collection.
