context_page_description: Winston Lloyd Bogarde is a Dutch retired professional footballer, and is the assistant manager of Jong Ajax. He was known for his physical strength, and played mostly as a central defender although he could occasionally play as full back.
  He had spells at Ajax, Barcelona and Chelsea. With the latter club he garnered worldwide attention as, although he received almost no playing time, he preferred to see out his lucrative contract.
  Bogarde represented the Dutch national team in one World Cup and one European Championship, being an international for five years.
context_section_description: Courtesy of steady performances at Ajax, Bogarde was summoned to UEFA Euro 1996 by Netherlands manager Guus Hiddink, who also included him in the squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. A starter in the first competition, he only backed up Arthur Numan in the second.
  Bogarde had the chance to feature in his first start at a World Cup match against Brazil in the semi-finals, after starter Numan was suspended in the previous encounter against Argentina, but he sustained a serious shin injury during training and was hospitalised, being replaced by Philip Cocu.
