Ricardo Ciciliano
Ricardo Manuel Ciciliano Bustillo (September 23, 1976 – September 17, 2020) was a Colombian football midfielder.

Career 
Ciciliano was born in Barranquilla. From 2006, Ciciliano played at Millonarios where he achieved several remarkable feats. One of these was on November 19, 2006, when Millonarios played against Independiente Medellín; Millonarios was winning the match 1–0 and with 5 minutes remaining for the final whistle, Millonarios goalkeeper Jose Fernando Cuadrado was sent off. Without another goalkeeper available (Juan Carlos Henao was injured), Ciciliano took his place; he eventually saved the penalty kick awarded to Independiente Medellín as result of Cuadrado's foul, and Millos won the match.

Another notable achievement for Ciciliano was on October 24, 2007, when he scored 2 goals against the Brazilian club São Paulo FC, assuring Millonarios qualification for the Semi-finals of the Copa Sudamericana 2007. That same year he won Top Scorer in the Copa Sudamericana 2007 after scoring 6 goals in Millonarios. Ciciliano played for Colombia at the 1993 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Japan.

Ciciliano entered the intensive care unit of Clínica La Asunción in Barranquilla with pneumonia for complications of COVID-19 on September 6, 2020. He died there of his condition on September 17, 2020, at age 43.
