According to Boboye, "I played in all d qualifiers for '96 Olympics except the last game because of car accident injuries. I didn’t recover on time to make the squad to Atlanta and that ruled me out of having an Olympic gold medal around my neck. That's my biggest regret ever. I thank God for life though."

The Nigerian also played for Saint-Denis Saint-Leu Football Club in France and Manning Rangers FC in South Africa.
