Roger Anthony Joseph (born 24 December 1965 in Paddington, England) is a former professional football right back, best remembered for his time in the Football League with Wimbledon and Brentford. He won two caps for England B at international level.
Joseph began his career alongside his older brother Francis at Division Three side Brentford, rejoining the club in October 1984 after having been released as a junior and dropped into non-league football with Southall. He made his senior debut on the final day of the 1984–85 season in a 1–1 draw with Millwall and attempted to establish himself as the club's first choice right back during the 1985–86 and 1986–87 seasons, before excelling in 1987–88 and winning Brentford's Players' Player of the Year award. His performances also saw him voted into the Division Three PFA Team of the Year, the first Brentford player to receive the accolade. He departed Griffin Park for a club record £150,000 fee in August 1988, having made 122 appearances and scored two goals for the Bees.
Joseph signed for Division One club and reigning FA Cup holders Wimbledon in August 1988 for a £150,000 fee. He began his time with the Dons as a regular but drifted out of contention by the 1993–94 season, making just 13 league appearances, before managing just three appearances in the following season and remaining absent for the entirety of 1995–96. Joseph was released in May 1996 after making 199 appearances without scoring.
