Profile
Ryan-Zico Black was named after Brazilian legend Zico. He played an important role for Morecambe in his time with the club, providing width on either the left or the right wing.
This ability earned him a place in the Northern Ireland under 18 and under 21 squads. He used to play with Matthew Le Tissier at a younger age.
It was rare to see Zico play the full 90 minutes but he produced some excellent performances in a Morecambe shirt but he also produced some pretty dire ones. Inconsistency was probably his biggest problem but the talent was definately there.
Zico had bags of potential but ultimately he failed to achieve it at Morecambe Football Club and he was released from the club at the beginning of September 2003.
He went on to have a short spell at Northwich Victoria before moving into the Irish League Premier Division with Glenavon
