Career
In the club
De Boer's professional career began in 1988 at AFC Ajax in Amsterdam, where he had already played as a youth. At first he played as a left full-back , before moving to central defense later. He was part of the legendary Ajax team, which won the Champions League in 1995 , and has also won several Dutch championships and cups. Until January 1999 he played - together with his twin brother Ronald - at Ajax before he moved to FC Barcelona with his brother . With the also Dutch coach Louis van Gaal , he became Spanish champions with FC Barcelona in the same year. After that, however, he was unable to build on his earlier successes.
He also tested positive for nandrolone in April 2001 after the UEFA Cup game against Celta Vigo . Due to the fourfold increase in value, UEFA banned him from international matches for one year. De Boer continued to plead his innocence and appealed the decision. In addition, FIFA banned him from the national team. The bans were later reduced to just two and a half months. In 2003 he went to Turkey to Galatasaray Istanbul . During the winter break he left the club again and joined the Scottish club Glasgow Rangers . In 2004 he went to Al-Rayyan Sports Club in Qatar . For the 2005/06 season he moved within the league to Al-Shamal Sports Club . In April 2006, he had to end his career because of knee problems.
