Chris Zoricich (, ; born 3 May 1969) is a New Zealand association football player who represented the New Zealand national football team in the 1980s and 1990s. Born to Croat parents, he began playing football in his native Auckland for Blockhouse Bay Under-7's and went on to play over 50 times for his country. Club career "Zorro" began his senior career with Papatoetoe in Auckland before moving to Leyton Orient in England between 1990–1993. He made 59 first team appearances there, and 12 as a substitute during his time in East London, before he was made to return home due to work permit restrictions. A group of Orient fans protested outside the home office to try to keep him in the country. In 1994, Chris returned to New Zealand to play for Central United, a Croatian-influenced team. His brother, Michael (who played Davis Cup tennis for New Zealand), and his father, Ivan, also turned out for Central at various points. However it was not long before Zoricich was on the move again, this time to Brisbane Strikers in the Australian National Soccer League. He spent two seasons in Australia before heading to England to try his luck again. He
