Sander Bernard Jozef Boschker (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsɑndər ˈbɔskər]; born 20 October 1970) is a Dutch former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
During a professional career which spanned 25 years he played mostly for Twente, appearing in 555 Eredivisie games and winning four major titles.
Boschker was part of the Dutch squad at the 2010 World Cup.
Born in Lichtenvoorde, Oost Gelre, Gelderland, Boschker made his professional debuts with FC Twente in the 1989–90 season, appearing in one game with the first team. After an irregular beginning he firmly established himself in the side's starting XI, going on to play in more than 400 official matches for the Eredivisie club.
Aged almost 33 Boschker moved to AFC Ajax, but had to settle with battling for being backup with the Amsterdam club, unable to dislodge youth product Maarten Stekelenburg. The following summer he returned to Twente, adding next to 200 more official appearances (in the 2008–09 campaign, he only missed five league contests for an eventual runner-up finish), and playing into his 40s.
In 2009–10, Boschker played in all 34 games as Twente won the first league title in the club's history – he only conceded 23 goals, second-best in the competition. Since 2010, though, he acted as understudy to Nikolay Mihaylov, and spent most of the following year rehabbing after two calf injuries.
