Portuguese footballer

[Horus]

I'm looking into something for a mate, and I need to find out if there has been a Portuguese footballer called Brian/Bryan (some variation or nickname)? If it's the right guy, his dad owns a football team in Portugal too.

 

Although more important than the name, is the fact that he's played professionally, possibly over here too, and his dad as a club owner.

 

A trillion internets to the FF if you can help me out.

Strange one. I must admit that I don't really know what you're on about.

Is he Portuguese?

BRYAN

 

Born in Lisbon, Bryan spent the majority of his career playing for third division clubs. He made his professional debuts in 1992–93, with C.D. Portosantense in the fourth level.

 

Bryan first came to prominence in the 1999–2000 season, scoring nine goals for C.S.D. Câmara de Lobos in division three,[1] and subsequently earning a contract with C.D. Nacional of the second division, where he appeared sparingly over the course of three seasons, being relegated in his second.

 

In the 2001 summer, after a failed second stint with Nacional, Bryan moved to another club in Madeira, A.D. Camacha, netting 16 goals in his only season.[2] He then signed for his fifth club in the region, A.D. Pontassolense (also in the third level), where he repeated individual numbers in his first year.[3]

 

In 2003–04, 32-year old Bryan scored 15 goals for Pontassolense, thus becoming division three (South Zone)'s runner-up topscorer behind S.C. Olhanense's Edinho.[4] He only found the net five times in the following season[5] and, subsequently, moved to amateur football where he played a couple of seasons for two clubs before retiring.
