Ricardo Rocha (born October 3, 1978, full name Ricardo Sérgio Rocha Azevedo) is a Portuguese football defender. Born in Santo Tirso, he currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur. Ricardo was also called up for Portugal in the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Finland and Denmark.
On January 17th 2007 stories hit the Portuguese and English media suggesting that a move to Tottenham Hotspur was a possibility. The following day the Portuguese media reported that the move was imminent following a meeting in Lisbon between the Tottenham Chairman, former Tottenham player and now agent Ronny Rosenthal and the Benfica President with a price of €5million (£3.2m) + two friendlies between the clubs with Benfica receiving all profits from the gate receipts and television money.
Rocha played his first game for Tottenham on the 27th of January 2007 in the 3-1 win over Southend in the FA cup 4th round in place of captain Ledley King.
On February 10 he played his first Premiership match for Tottenham against Sheffield Utd [1]
