Clearly well ahead of his age bracket. Hopefully he can push on and break into the first team That might’ve been one of the first times, if not the first time I watched Seb Palmer-Houlden too.

Think 99.9% of City fans who are 35+ would know who Tony Yeboah is, he was one of the most iconic players in the mid 90’s. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Tony Yaboah was unplayable at the start of the 95/96 season then kind of tailed off from what i remember. He also got given Yorkshire puddings every time he scored. Probably why he started to slow down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut definitely doesn’t seem too far away if that and the new deal are anything to go by. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 No he's not Tony Yeboah's kid. Tony's kids are called Jayden and Jordan and are on the books at Fulham (as per a year ago at least). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 It's not far off the name Smith in Ghana, so we are being a little parochial in our thinking on here. "The surname is most numerous in Ghana, where it is held by 222,431 people, or 1 in 121" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as soon as he breaks into our first team, AC, Inter or Juventus will be clamouring to sign him. Seeing him in little bits of last season's under 21's, he looked very useful.
