Brazilian World Cup winner
Rivaldo has been voted the worst player in 2003 by Italian radio listeners
pushing Al-Saadi Gaddafi, the son of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, into
second place.
Rivaldo, who was released from
his contract with European champions AC Milan at the beginning of December after
making just one appearance this season, topped the poll for the 'Golden Dustbin'
awarded by RAI radio's Catersport programme.
The Brazilian won 28 per cent of the votes from the more than 5,000 listeners
who took part in the poll.
Al-Saadi Gaddafi, who signed for Serie A club Perugia in the close season but
tested positive for norandrosterone, a metabolite of the steroid nandrolone,
without having played for them in a competitive game, was second with 21.5
percent.
Udinese's German striker Carsten Jancker, who on Sunday scored only his
second goal since joining the club 17 months ago, finished third in the vote.
Other players who featured in the top 10 were Italy and Inter Milan defender
Marco Materazzi, Lazio's Portuguese winger Sergio Conceicao and his Serbian club
mate Sinisa Mihajlovic.
