Early Life

Sander Bernard Jozef Boschker was born in 1970 in Lichtenvoorde, Oost Gelre, Gelderland, Netherlands. He began his journey in football at a young age, eventually making his professional debut as a goalkeeper with FC Twente during the 1989–90 season.

Career

Boschker's career spanned over two decades, primarily with FC Twente, where he became a key player, amassing over 400 official matches. After a brief stint at AFC Ajax from 2003 to 2004, where he served as a backup goalkeeper, he returned to Twente, contributing significantly to the team's success. Notably, during the 2009–10 season, he played every match as Twente clinched their first Eredivisie title, conceding only 23 goals throughout the season.

International career

Although Boschker never made an appearance for the Netherlands until 2010, he was included in Marco van Basten's provisional squad for UEFA Euro 2008. However, following the friendly against Ukraine on 21 May, the manager released him, as he was deemed only the fourth-choice goalkeeper. After a stellar 2009–10 club season, 39-year-old Boschker was included in the provisional squad of 30 players for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. On 27 May 2010, national team manager Bert van Marwijk announced that the player would be part of the final squad of 23, and Boschker appeared in a friendly with Ghana in Rotterdam (4–1 victory), replacing Michel Vorm at half-time; as a result, he became both the oldest player to ever make his debut and play for the Dutch national team.

Club career

Born in Lichtenvoorde, Oost Gelre, Gelderland, Boschker made his professional debuts with FC Twente in the 1989–90 season, appearing in one game with the first team. After an irregular beginning he firmly established himself in the side's starting XI, going on to play in more than 400 official matches for the Eredivisie club. Aged almost 33 Boschker moved to AFC Ajax, but had to settle with battling for being backup with the Amsterdam club, unable to dislodge youth product Maarten Stekelenburg. The following summer he returned to Twente, adding next to 200 more official appearances (in the 2008–09 campaign, he only missed five league contests for an eventual runner-up finish), and playing into his 40s. In 2009–10, Boschker played in all 34 games as Twente won the first league title in the club's history – he only conceded 23 goals, second-best in the competition. Since 2010, though, he acted as understudy to Nikolay Mihaylov, and spent most of the following year rehabbing after two calf injuries. On 25 June 2012, Boschker extended his link for another year. He retired at the end of the 2013–14 season.
