Frank Leboeuf's autobiography

Leboeuf was noted for his consistent penalty-taking throughout his career. He took over 20 penalties for Chelsea, missing just once. Leboeuf did, however, fail to score in a penalty shoot-out in Euro 2000.

For France, Leboeuf was capped 50 times, scoring five goals. A bench player in 1998, he stepped in for red carded Laurent Blanc to play in the final, a 3-0 win against Brazil. Although he did not get off the bench, Leboeuf did receive a winner's medal at Euro 2000. He then played at the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Leboeuf now lives in Los Angeles and plays for celebrity team Hollywood United
