Tony Yeboah’s reputation as a legend in Frankfurt is growing every day, as evidenced by the recent revival of a fan tattoo online that has his name and jersey number.
Before moving to Europe, Yeboah had a distinguished career, starting with Ghanaian teams Asante Kotoko, Cornerstones, and Okwawu United.
He then established himself in Germany, playing for FC Saarbrucken and then Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga football league.
Yeboah is still adored by the Frankfurt community, who still look up to him even after he left the German team to play for Leeds United in the Premier League.
He is so well-known that a social media picture of a Frankfurt supporter who has proudly had a Yeboah tattoo on his back for more than 30 years has gone viral. Yeboah’s name and number are permanently engraved on his skin in a tattoo that looks like the Eintracht Frankfurt shirt.
When it came to black football players in the Bundesliga, the former Ghanaian international was a pioneer.
He scored an incredible 68 goals in more than 120 games for Frankfurt. In the German top division, he also took home two golden boots.
Before hanging up his boots after a year at Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, Yeboah previously played for Leeds United and Hamburg SV.
