RYAN-ZICO BLACK, pictured, will have the chance to rub shoulders with some of football's greats in December when he travels to Brazil to play in a charity match.

The annual contest is arranged by his legendary namesake Zico, regarded as an all-time great, and is played between 'Friends of Zico' and the 'Stars of Brazil'.

Although he is still waiting on the confirmed date, Guernsey FC midfielder Black, now 31, cannot wait for the trip, which came about after a Brazilian TV crew filmed him earlier this year.

'It will be massive for me, the chance to have pitch time with some of the greats will be a brilliant experience,' he said.
