"'Yesterday Man'" is a song written by Chris Andrews and was his first single as a solo singer, released in September 1965. It climbed to No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, and No. 1 in Ireland, New Zealand, Germany and Austria. In the U.S., it reached #94 in 1966. The Cash Box trade paper reported in its 5 February 1966 issue that it had passed 300,000 sales in Germany alone, and later over 800,000 as a final tally in that country (28 May 1966).
In 1974, it was covered by Robert Wyatt (produced by Nick Mason) as the follow-up to his hit with Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" (Virgin Records).
The song was also re-worked and released as "True Leicester Fan" by City People.
