After 3 years as a defensive stalwart for the great Ajax side that won the Champions League in '95 and reached the Final again the year after, Bogarde moved to the Nou Camp via AC Milan in January '98 and picked up a La Liga and Copa del Rey double as well as the Super Cup in his first season. The centre back unfortunately missed most of the 98-99 campaign through injury though which was the first season that Nike produced kits for Barca and a special patch was worn on the left sleeve from January '99 of the season onwards as part of the club's centenary celebrations. This patch continued to be worn throughout 99-00 when Bogarde recovered to be a regular again making 35 appearances in all competitions as the side finished runners-up and reached the Champions League Semi Finals. The Dutch international who went to both Euro '96 and France '98 signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2000 Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP499.99
