fringo Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Walter Rojas (Dundee Utd, 1991) Sometimes in Scottish football something so sublimely silly occurs it becomes instant legend. The signing of Argentinean ‘winger’ Walter Rojas by Jim McLean rates as one of the beautiful game’s most ludicrous moments. In Walter Rojas Dundee Utd thought they were getting a man on the cusp of international stardom, a player so good he could become the next Maradonna. He came in, he played once and he left. Myth suggests that they signed the wrong Argentinian, or that they signed the brother of a professional player, or that Walter’s agent had in fact punted him to Scotland as a footballer when he in fact he played basketball. Whatever the truth of it, Walter Rojas remains one of Scotland’s most embarrassing signings. Despite having their fingers burnt Utd raided South America once more ten years later, conjuring up a trio of equally untalented super stars. While they didn’t last long in Dundee, better known and more expensive Scottish duds such as Paul Ritchie and Lee Miller will perhaps merit as much mockery as their more exotic predecessors.

sbcmfc Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It’s hard to get away from most disappointing signing, rather than just complete donkey. So Brian Mclair has to be up there for Motherwell for anyone of my generation who missed him 1st time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davied14 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Amdy Faye used to be my default answer to this, however some of the dross signed during the years in the lower leagues will surely have taken this mantle from him. I'll go with Cribari. Proof that purely being Brazilian will give you a shot at being a professional footballer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo cop Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I remember Steve Ritchie who played for Aberdeen, back in the days when I really followed them, he actually scored in a cup final v Rangers with a mis-hit shot in the late 70s. I am sure some of you will remember it. Only thing I can remember him doing that stands out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team: Bossu, McNamara, Jerel Ifil, Dave Bus, Steve Ritchie, Dan Smith, Ingolfson, Stephen Hughes, Gary MacDonald, Tommy Wright, Leon Mike Too painful to start adding subs after thinking of a 11.

daviebee Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Dougie Barron. Alex Totten brought him to East Fife presumably cos he did not too bad for him at St Johnstone. Fkin hell he was awful. Obviously thought he would stroll through the bottom division of Scottish fitba, so every week he'd go Beckenbauering out of defence and every week a striker would nick it from him, bear down on the goalie and stick it away. His record was twice in the first 20 minutes v Queen's Park when Totten had to hook him before we lynched the erse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man in bold was a personal hate figure of mine, even when he was warming up you knew he was going to fuck something up. If you mixed Leigh Hinds, Calvin Zola and Nicky Maynard into that lot, you could have several combinations of the most useless strike force ever to grace the pittodrie turf.
