Leo Roget Biography

Leo Roget is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 1, 1977 in England, United Kingdom. Leo Thomas Earl Roget (born 1 August 1977) is an English retired football player who made more than 120 appearances for the Football League for Southend United. He also played in the league at Oxford United, Stockport County, Brentford, Rushden & Diamonds, Reading and was known by his “pace, mobility and strength in the air”. He was a “bad boy” player, Roget was a victim of sixty yellow card and exiled seven times in his pro-sports career. He took on one professional match as boxer in December 2013.

1 March 2001 was the day that Roget was signed by First Division club Stockport County on a one-month loan with the intention of signing an agreement that would last for a long time. Roget was a potential goal to The Hatters in the lead-up to the beginning of the 2000-01 campaign, however, the club was not impressed by Southend United’s value. He was instantly inserted into the starting squad and when the loan ended the move was made permanent with an initial fee of PS50,000. Roget completed the 2000-01 season with just eight appearances. He was a regular player in defense during the 2001-02 campaign and was the first player to score a goal at St. James Park by scoring the penalty of the final minute in a 2-1 loss against Sheffield United on 18 September 2001. Roget was dismissed in February 2002 and left on loan for the rest of the season around the middle of the month. Then, at the end of the season, the contract of Roget was terminated through mutual consent and he left the club having played 32 games and scoring a goal in just under one calendar year in Edgley Park.

After a trial period with Oxford United, Roget joined Second Division club Brentford on a non-contract basis on 9 August 2002. He was a regular starter alongside Ibrahima Sonko in central defence and on 3 September he signed a new contract to remain at Griffin Park until 30 December 2002. Despite missing five months of the 2002–03 season due to ankle ligament damage and a hamstring problem, Roget was a starter when fit and after signing a contract extension in January 2003, he remained with Brentford until the end of the season. He signed a new one-year contract in May 2003, but after beginning the 2003–04 as a regular starter, he was transfer-listed after he “reacted to abuse from a section of the Griffin Park crowd” with “an obscene gesture to fans” after he was sent off during a 3–1 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 6 September 2003. After a “performance where the fans could see his heart is at (Brentford)” versus Rushden & Diamonds one week later, Roget was reinstated to the starting lineup by manager Wally Downes and continued to keep his place until his contract was cancelled in late January 2004. During 18 months with Brentford, Roget made 33 appearances.

On 13 February 2002, after turning down a £70,000 move to Chinese club Red Heart K, Roget joined Second Division club Reading on loan until the end of the 2001–02 season. The following day, he made his only appearance for the club with a start in a 0–0 draw with Swindon Town, in which three players were sent off. Roget was an unused substitute during the remainder of the season’s matches and was part of the squad which sealed automatic promotion to the First Division on the final day of the season.

In the last year of the contract Roget played regularly for the first part of the 1999-00 campaign alongside Simon Coleman in central defence. He was dropped from the team in December of 1999 after an away defeat of 3-1 to Barnet in the league, he “stormed into the visitors’ changing room and broke their stereo with an angry kick” and later denied. Roget returned to the squad in January 2000 and completed a mid-table 1999-00 year with 40 games as well as two goals.

He made eight appearances and scored a goal during the season 1995-1996 First Division season. Roget began to make an impact on the squad frequently throughout the 1996-97 campaign and his performances were so good that he was invited of a test for a trial with Dutch team Feyenoord. Despite the Shrimpers being relegated into the Second Division in May 1997 He signed a three-year contract with Roots Hall.

Roget rejected the offer of a new one-year contract during the 2000 off-season and as he was too young to be given a free transfer under the Bosman ruling, he would remain at Roots Hall on a week-to-week contract during the 2000–01 season. He was again a regular in central defence alongside Phil Whelan, though new manager David Webb questioned in October 2000 “if he (Roget) is only playing so well because he hasn’t got a contract at the moment”. Having already accumulated seven yellow cards during the season, Webb was forced into showdown talks with “bad boy” Roget in January 2001.
