Leboeuf was a classy centre back with excellent distribution skills from the back but was sometimes exposed by his lack of pace and poor ability in the air. He started at Hyeres, Meaux and Laval before joining Strasbourg in 1991. He was spotted by Ruud Gullit and joined Chelsea after the 1996 World Cup Finals. After Chelsea increased the competition for central defensive places, by signing William Gallas, Leboeuf returned to France to play for Olympique Marseilles in July 2001.
