Andre Boe (born 24 October 1962) is a Cameroonian former footballer who is last known to have played as a goalkeeper for Molesey. He was known for his unorthodox style and attention-grabbing antics on the field where he "sometimes played more like an outfield player".[1][2][3]

Club career

[edit]

In early 1996, Boe appeared in three league matches for Scottish second division side Greenock Morton as a short-term replacement for an injured David Wylie.[4] He made his debut with the team on 24 February, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over Dumbarton where he memorably stood near the half-way line and waved to the crowd in the first half.[2] After that, he played for Molesey in the English seventh division but left due to "cultural reasons".[3]

International career

[edit]

He reportedly earned 62 caps for the Cameroon national team,[3] although that number has been disputed.[4]
