description: "Rafael Felipe Scheidt is a retired Brazilian footballer. He was signed by Kenny Dalglish, manager of Celtic from Grêmio for £5 million and failed to make an impact. Plagued by injury and finding it hard to settle he started one game in the 1999–00 season against St Johnstone and was let out on loan to Corinthians by new manager Martin O'Neill after just five appearances. Indeed, Scheidt later admitted that following an unimpressive showing in a pre-season friendly O'Neill had told him \"I like footballers who are not like you\", further adding \"I like footballers who play well.\" The Guardian newspaper called Scheidt the second worst transfer in the history of football, behind Steve Daley, in an article published in 2001."
