Ezequias Roosevelt Tavares de Melo (born 28 January 1981), known simply as Ezequias, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Trem Desportivo Clube as a left back.
He played for several teams during his professional career, in three countries.
Football career[]
Born in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Ezequias started playing football with lowly Sport Club Corinthians Alagoano. He would then spend the following seven seasons in Portugal, with C.S. Marítimo – where he arrived in 2001 alongside Pepe, later of FC Porto, Real Madrid and the Portugal national team fame – Gil Vicente FC, Académica de Coimbra, Porto, S.C. Beira-Mar[1] and Leixões SC,[2] the latter two loaned by the Primeira Liga club after being unable to impress (only one league appearance, a 1–2 away loss against S.C. Braga[3]).
In the middle of 2008, Ezequias was finally released by Porto and signed with Romania's FC Brașov. Two years later, after two seasons as first-choice, he moved to another team in that country and its Liga I, FC Rapid București.
Personal life[]
For reasons unknown to him, Ezequias' second name was an homage to American president Franklin D. Roosevelt.[4]
