Tony Yeboah makes impossible choice between his legendary Liverpool and Wimbledon goals

Leeds United legend Tony Yeboah has managed to chose his favourite goal at Leeds United.

The striker, who was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt, scored 32 goals in his 66 games for the club during a hugely memorable spell.

Yeboah was renowned for his stunning strikes during his two-and-a-half year period at Elland Road with goals against Wimbledon and Liverpool living long in the memory.

He spoke to BBC's Football Focus as part of the club's centenary celebrations last October, with the Ghanaian's strike against Liverpool recently being voted one of the ten best goals in Premier League history by Ian Wright.

And was asked which goal he preferred, he explained: "For me I think the Liverpool goal is fantastic.

"You watch the goal and ask yourself how can I score these goals?

"The whole stadium everybody was shouting my name and it was brilliant."

In a previous interview, the striker had expanded on that choice.

He said: "Liverpool was the best goal. Why do I think that? Because it was live on television and everyone was watching. It surprised people.

"Also, I grew up as a Liverpool fan and their team had Rush, Barnes, players I admired.

"Wimbledon was all about control and if we’re talking technically, that is probably the best goal. But it’s about feeling and emotion as well, no? So it’s Liverpool. That was the one."
