THIS PREMIER LEAGUE cult hero looks unrecognisable from his playing days as he now rocks a grey beard and specs.

The striker scored some memorable goals down the years to write himself into Prem folklore.

He played for six professional clubs and made 415 appearances across his career, scoring 187 goals.

As well as playing in the Premier League, the star in question also spent quite a bit of time in the Bundesliga.

And on Tuesday he appeared at a party celebrating 125 years of Eintracht Frankfurt.

He was joined by another Premier League legend – Jay-Jay Okocha (right in the picture above).

Reporter Jan Aage Fjortoft was also in attendance and he took a photo next to the pair which he captioned: “I’ve had worse Tuesdays…”

Okocha, 50, sported a beard but still looks impressively youthful.

While the other cult hero of the 1990s sat next to him looks a far cry from his playing days with a grey beard and glasses.

The star in question is former Leeds hitman Tony Yeboah.

He played in the Prem between 1995-97 and scored 32 goals in 67 games for Leeds.

Yeboah, 57, scored some absolute screamers at the peak of his powers and also played for Frankfurt, Hamburg and Al-Ittihad.
