Henning Boel (born 15 August 1945) is a Danish former football player, who played professionally in the United States and Scotland.
When the professional North American Soccer League was founded in 1968, Boel moved to the US, playing three games for Boston Beacons, then fifteen for the Washington Whips.
He was recruited by Scottish team Aberdeen in early 1969, having been spotted during the club's tour of the US the previous summer.
During his time in Aberdeen, Boel became a favourite of the Scottish team's fans,[2] and was a part of the Aberdeen team which won the 1969–70 Scottish Cup trophy, beating Celtic 3–1 in the final, which he himself feels is his greatest footballing achievement.
An injury sustained in a UEFA Cup tie against Borussia Mönchengladbach in 1972 signalled the end of his time in Scotland as he found it difficult to regain his place in the Aberdeen side.
