Former Leeds United forward Tony Yeboah has revealed the best time of his life was when he was playing for the Elland Road club.
The Leeds cult hero played just over two seasons with the West Yorkshire side and is best remembered for some wonder strikes.
Speaking to FourFourTwo, Yeboah spoke of regret at leaving the club in 1997: “Playing for Leeds was the best of my life. Looking back, maybe I should have stayed there for the rest of my career.”
Asked about his former club’s near miss last season to get promotion, the Ghanaian said: “It was disappointing that they didn’t quite do it last season, but it’s the closest they’ve been for a while. I have no doubt that if Marcelo Bielsa stays, they’ll eventually go up.”
He would go on to score 22 league goals that season to better the 18 he got in his debut campaign in the Premier League.
Yeboah spent 9 seasons playing in Ghana before getting a move to Europe when he signed for Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. The forward spent 5 seasons in Germany before moving to Leeds United in the mid-nineties.
After his spell in England the former Ghana international returned to Germany with Hamburg, before finishing his career in the Middle East.
