Alcide began his career in local football before joining Emley. In the middle of 1992, following just one season with Emley, he followed his manager Gerry Quinn across the pennines to Altrincham. He then returned to Emley before signing for Lincoln City and beginning his Football League career. In 1998, he formed a strike partnership with Leo Fortune-West. Alcide moved to Hull City in 1999. In 2001, he joined Cambridge United.[1] At Cambridge he scored once in the League Cup against West Bromwich Albion.[2]

In the middle of 2004, Alcide reappeared in the colours of TNS for whom he appeared against Osters IF in the UEFA Cup but did not remain for the Welsh Premier League season, instead linking up with his former Emley and Altrincham manager Gerry Quinn at Ashton United in Conference North. His spell at Ashton was interrupted by illness and injury, prompting his retirement in October 2004.
