Advantages: not bad defender
Disadvantages: vicious
Frank leboeuf is not a bad player he is good in defence and can clear the ball into safety a long way out, the only thing is he gets a bit vicious like in the incident between him and kewell of leeds. he can kick the ball hard and low and is good at penalty taking. Hasselbaink is also a good player on the ball just like zola used to be!! hasselbaink is a good striker and can score goals from basically anywhere. A naturally french born sweeper and he lives up to being a sweeper and a good enough player to play for his country. One of best defenders to ever play for Chelsea. A skilful defender. his best posistion is playing sweeper. After he joined chelsea i realised just how good a defeder Frank was Leboeuf has the lot, he is good in the air, an excellent tackler, can hit 60 yard passes with ease, deadly bursting forward, scores goals, and probably a good penalty taker. What else can you ask for. Born: Marseille, France. 22.1.68. Height: 183cms (6') Weight: 76 kgs (12st). Previous clubs: Hyeres, Meaux, Laval, Racing Club Strasbourg.

This opinion is copied word for word from the above. The webpage has the following information.
&qu ot;One of best defenders to ever play for Chelsea.
A difficult statement to prove, but without doubt, a superbly skilled defender. Most happy as a sweeper in a back 3, Frank Leboeuf arrived at Chelsea and suddenly made Chelsea fans realise just what a defender was supposed to do.
Leboeuf has the lot, good in the air, supreme tackler, great organiser, can hit 60 yard passes with ease, deadly bursting forward, scores goals, never misses penalties. What more do want from a player!
It seems amazing now, but when he arrived people were saying Frank who?, a player who somehow managed to keep himself quietly tucked away in the French leagues, but is now regarded as one of the best in Europe. It's Leboeuf's rotten luck that means that one of the few better sweepers in the world, Laurent Blanc, also happens to be French and has limited Leboeuf's national caps. Oh how England could do with a sweeper of Leboeuf's class. Yet Frank Leboeuf returned from the World cup as a winner. Alongside fellow Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly, Lebouef played in the World Cup final against Brazil and capped an amazing 2 years for the Frenchman.
The man truly is here, there, every bleeping where!
