Daniel "Danny" Edouward Boffin (born 10 July 1965) is a Belgian retired footballer who played as a left winger. Boffin is currently managing Patro Eisden Maasmechelen playing in the Belgian First Amateur Division.
During his professional career, which spanned nearly two decades, he played for four clubs in his country – most notably Anderlecht – and one in France, appearing in nearly 600 official games as a professional.
Boffin represented Belgium in three World Cups, the last of which occurred when he was 37.
Born in Sint-Truiden, Boffin began playing professionally for local Sint-Truidense VV, in the Belgian Second Division. After two solid years he moved to the Pro League with RFC Liège, appearing in European competition with the club and also being instrumental as it won its first-ever domestic cup, in 1990.
At the age of 26, after more than 150 official games for Liège, Boffin signed with national giants R.S.C. Anderlecht, continuing to be an undisputed starter in his career: in his first two seasons combined he scored 13 goals, helping lead the Brussels-based team to three leagues in a row as five managers were in charge of the team during his six-year spell. On 8 December 1993, he scored with his (weak) right foot to make it 3–0 at SV Werder Bremen for the UEFA Champions League, as the Germans incredibly recovered for the final 5–3 group stage win.
