Roberto Zito (Player) - Inducted 2001

Zito, a native of Brazil, played with the Vasco da Gama Juniors. In Washington, Zito played with Maggies, Hispano Soccer Club, St. Gerard Soccer Club of Baltimore and the Washington Darts.

Zito was an outstanding “inside right” in the old “W-M” system. A spectacular ball-control artist and dribbler, the diminutive Zito could turn a game around in a flash.

In the early 1960’s, Zito’s skills helped his team win the Stewart Cup, Arnold Cup, Couglin Cup, Rowland Cup, and the National Soccer League Championship. Zito regularly played on the Washington All-Star teams, the Baltimore All-Stars, and the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals against Sheffield United.
