Career

An employee of a weaving company, Sylvio Moreira, known as Cecy, began his football career with Vila Isabel, a team for which he had played since 1917 and was top scorer in 1921, champion of group B of the LMDT. In 1923, he went to Vasco, and there he became one of the first great idols in the club's history. A midfielder, he stood out for his ability to score goals from behind, and as part of the squad called "Camisas Negras" (Black Shirts) he was one of the first black players to achieve success in the Campeonato Carioca. For Vasco he made 39 appearances and scored 21 goals, two of them in the 3–1 victory against Flamengo, in the first victory of Vasco da Gama at the Clássico dos Milhões. He was honored by Vasco in 1951, but little is known about his life after leaving football.
