Top 5 worst players to play for Brisbane Roar

As inspired by @RoarObession on our Twitter feed, here at inside HQ we have come up with the top 5 worst players ever to don the orange jersey for the Brisbane Roar FC. As disappointing as it is four out of the five are all foreign players. Not just at the Roar but at all A-League clubs, there has been some shocking import signings.

5. Marchino



Marchino was signed in a period in the A - League where anyone with a Brazilian passport was assumed to be a world class footballer. Signed in 2007 Marchino only lasted a season before being released at the closure of that season. He now plays in the Greek second division hopefully hes not relying on his pay cheque.

4. David Dodd



Brother of former Roar player Karl, David Dodd was signed from the local competition under the Farina era. Dodd had the touch and movement of a sloth and it is really surprising to see how he even earned a professional contract. He is now playing in the NSWPL with Manly United.

3. Yuning Zhang



Described as the "Chinese David Beckham" Yuning was signed by Farina back in 2006. Zhang was a heavy smoker and only made 6 appearacnes for the Roar before being cut loose in the same season. Thank for nothing Zhang.

2. Osvaldo Carro



The Uruguayan "dead ball" specialist was signed by Miron Bleiberg back in 2005, he was about as good in a dead ball situation as breasts are on a bull - meaning he was utter useless. Making 6 appearances for the Roar he left soon after at seasons end. He is now playing in the Uruguayan second division which is surprising to see that he got another club.

1. Bob Malcolm




And the worst player to play for the great Brisbane Roar FC goes to Scottish defender Bob Malcolm. Bob is mainly the worst player due to his CV, see Malcolm played for giants Rangers for 9 years as well as stints with Derby County and QPR. When he arrived at the Roar he was utter rubbish at the back. Looking like he was playing drunk or hungover Malcolm was embarrassing to the club, not only did he disappoint fans but also his good mate Craig Moore who helped bring him out here in 2009. He was released when Ange Postecoglou arrived and his now training with Scottish division 2 side East Fife. Thanks for the memories Bobby, Caxton street misses you.
