England
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 team-mates, 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.
His stay with West Ham lasted two seasons and he was loaned out to Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion before moving to Crystal Palace in 1995 as part of the deal that took Iain Dowie back to Boleyn Ground. His spell at Palace was short-lived, however, and he moved on to Southend United at the end of the season.
