Jeroen Boere height - How tall is Jeroen Boere?

After his pub ownership ended, Boere moved to Spain, in September 2004, to work as a real estate agent. He died on 16 August 2007 at the age of 39. There are conflicting reports about the cause of death and place of death. Some media reported that Boere died in a car crash, possibly on Ibiza, while other media reported that he was found dead in his home in Marbella. English newspaper Ilford Recorder stated that Boere had committed suicide. Boere left his wife and child as well as two sons from a previous marriage.

West Ham United, Southend United and Omiya Ardija players wore black armbands in memory of Boere in their home games in August 2007.

During an interview in his pub with a Dutch sports magazine in 2001, Boere joked about his artificial eye and said he had no regrets about his career having played, at the peak of his career, for West Ham United. And, as he said, at least he was still alive.

After his retirement, Boere owned the Half Moon pub in Epping High Street from 1999 until 2004.

Boere moved to Japan in 1998 to play for the newly formed professional club Omiya Ardija, formerly known as NTT Kantō, in the Japan Football League. He played 15 matches and scored 9 goals in his first season in Japan. In the 1999 season, Omiya joined the newly formed J2 League and he started the season very well, scoring 9 in 11 games. In May 1999, after dinner with his wife at a restaurant in Roppongi district of Tokyo, he was stabbed in his left eye and arm by two unknown men who reportedly appeared to be of Middle Eastern origin. His attacker was later reported to be an Israeli criminal who was later found shot through the head in a Bangkok river. Boere lost his eye in the incident, which forced his retirement from football at the age of 31.

His stay with West Ham lasted two seasons and he was loaned out to Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion. He was recalled back to West Ham because of their striker shortage when they were near the foot of the table; he formed a partnership with Tony Cottee which helped West Ham to avoid relegation that season. He eventually moved to Crystal Palace in 1995 as part of the deal that took Iain Dowie back to the Boleyn Ground. His spell at Palace was short-lived, however, and he moved on to Southend United at the end of the season.

A tall striker, Jeroen Boere went abroad in summer 1993 when he was signed by Billy Bonds for £250,000 to play for newly promoted West Ham United in the Premier League. Jeroen, or 'Yosser' as he was known to his teammates, made his debut for West Ham on 25 September 1993 in a 2–0 defeat to Newcastle United but was sent off for a clash with Kevin Scott. Although he struggled to gain a regular place in the West Ham first team, he memorably scored twice for them in a Premier League game at Elland Road on 10 December 1994 to secure a 2–2 draw against Leeds United.

Jeroen Willem Boere (18 November 1967 – 16 August 2007) was a Dutch football player.
