Defence MindedINFO:Roggero was a right-back. He spent the majority of his career at Casale, playing 163 matches from 1928 to 1935 plus 26 more in the 1938-39 season. He played also for Lazio, Brescia and Biellese, where he retired in 1942.
Roggero was a defender gifted with physical strength and an impressive amount of determination to resist to the pressure from the opposing team. He had good sense of position to make desperate saves or to close the space to the attacker but whenever he faced a quick and technical player, he was easily dribbled or outmatched with a sprint. When the match became overheated, he began showing his toughness to his opponents, acting like a fury, no matter if he hit the ball or the feet. That sometimes led him to commit a penalty faul. He wasn't technically gifted and he was likely to miss the ball if he tried a volley clearance. It seems that he didn't have a good tactical sense nor a teamwork ability because he could either find himself lost when a cross was coming, miscommunicate with his goalkeeper or pass him the ball in a wrong way, cause an obstruction with the other defender.
