Club career

After starting his career in 1986 in the lower divisions of the French league, Leboeuf moved to Laval in 1988. In 1991, he moved to Strasbourg and played there until 1996, when he made a switch to English club Chelsea for £2.5m.

He played over 200 games for the club and scored 24 goals, mainly from penalties and set pieces. With Chelsea, he won two FA Cups, one League Cup and one Cup Winners' Cup. He left in 2001 for his hometown club Olympique Marseille, before finishing out his career in Qatar.

International career

For France, Leboeuf was capped 50 times, scoring five goals. Although he was mainly a substitiute in the 1998 World Cup, he stepped in for red carded Laurent Blanc to play in the final, a 3-0 win against Brazil.

Leboeuf received a winner's medal at Euro 2000. He then played at the 2002 World Cup.

Playing style

A highly cultured centre back Leboeuf was noted for his long range passing ability and also for his consistent penalty-taking throughout his career. He took more than 20 penalties for Chelsea, missing just 3 times: against Leicester and Feyenoord and Blackburn. Leboeuf failed to score in a penalty shoot-out in Euro 2000.

Personal life

Leboeuf now lives in Los Angeles, USA and plays for celebrity team Hollywood United as a midfielder as he says he doesn't like chasing attackers anymore.

He also appeared in the 2001 film, Taking Sides.[2]

  • Currently in pre-production for Ocean Hotel, a feature film about Russian Mafia in New York City schedduled to be shot in New York City in 2010. Ocean Hotel also stars Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones and Gabriel Francois.
  • He will also star along with French actor Jean-Francois Garreaud in "L'intrus", a theater play touring in France from January to June 2010.
