Zisis Vryzas (born November 9, 1973 in Kavala) is a striker on the Greek national football team, who has recently signed to play for PAOK Thessaloniki.
Vryzas got his start at Greek sides SKODA Xanthi FC (1992 - 1997) and PAOK before moving on to AC Perugia. From there, he moved to Fiorentina where he had his best years. Later (2006) he signed with AC Torino before moving on to Spain and Celta Vigo. Vryzas returned to Greece in 2007 to play for SKODA Xanthi. After the season ended, he signed once more with PAOK.
Although not a prolific scorer, Vryzas' tenacious work ethic creates chances for his attacking partners with his aerial and passing skills and his ability to hold onto the ball. He was a starter in Greece's victorious Euro 2004 team, scoring a key goal, a fine chip over the keeper, in Greece's 2-1 loss to Russia, which sent the tournament underdogs into the quarterfinal. Although currently still a regular participant in the Greece squad during World Cup Qualifying, he is being pushed hard for a spot in the lineup by experienced ex-Panathinaikos and current AEK frontman Nikos Lymberopoulos, as well as young stars Fanis Gekas, Dimitris Papadopoulos and Dimitris Salpingidis.
He played his last game with PAOK on January 6, 2007 in a winning game (1-0) against {AE Larisa FC|Larissa]. He had 269 game appearances and scored 48 goals in the [Alpha Ethniki|A' Ethiniki] league.
