Leboeuf - lace of pace showing (Allsport).

Position: Defender
Born: 22.01.68
Club: Marseille

The former Chelsea defender is now back in France with Marseille where he has found it difficult adapting.

Has come in for criticism on occasion from club sporting director Bernard Tapie, but Leboeuf in the French team is a different player.

Sneaked into the team for the 1998 final when Laurent Blanc was suspended, but may struggle to keep a regular place from now on.

Turned 34 in January and his lack of pace is showing.

Won the FA Cup, the Worthington Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup during a successful sting in London.

But his volatile temper did sometimes see him in trouble with referees for petulant behaviour.

Does read the game well and is a magnificent passer of the ball.

Also possesses a powerful shot and can be dangerous from outside the box.
