BARCELONA LEGEND

May 15, 1970 in Hoorn, Netherlands) is a former Dutch football midfielder who has played for the Dutch national team as well as a host of professional clubs in Europe. He is the twin brother of Frank de Boer.

De Boer won the Champions League with Ajax in 1994-95 season. While impressing at Ajax during the early 1990s towards the 1998 FIFA World Cup, his high-profile transfer to FC Barcelona marked what would be an unlikely bad patch for a prolific goal-scoring midfielder as he managed to feature in only 33 games for the club and only scored one goal overall. In the 2000-01 season, he opted to join the Dutch legion at Rangers under the manager Dick Advocaat.class="fullpost"> Among the Dutch internationals who then played for Rangers when he joined were Arthur Numan, Bert Konterman, Fernando Ricksen, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst and he spent four successful seasons with the club before deciding to join Al-Rayyan after the 2003-04 season.BAR
