Ricardo Emir James Rayo (born May 7, 1966) is a Panamanian former footballer.

Club career

James played for local side Guabito de Bocas but never in the ANAPROF league,[1] since he spent most of his career in Honduras playing for Platense and Olimpia. He yielded a humorous goal to Wilmer Velásquez while playing for Platense in the 1998–99 season.[2]

He retired aged 40, after winning a 5th Honduran league title with Olimpia.[3]

International career

James made his debut for Panama in a March 1993 UNCAF Nations Cup match against Honduras and has earned a total of 43 caps, scoring no goals.[4] He represented his country in 17 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[5] and played at the 1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[6]

His final international was an August 2004 FIFA World Cup qualification match against El Salvador.

Retirement

After retiring, James became goalkeeping coach at Platense[7] and later Sporting San Miguelito.[3]
