Born in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Black spent his early life in the Glasgow area before his family moved north to Nigg, Highland due to his father's job in the offshore oil industry, and he signed for Aberdeen in 1980 (a week after Bryan Gunn who came from the same part of the country). He won the Scottish 2nd XI Cup with the reserves. Black was heavily involved in the most successful era of Aberdeen's history under the management of Alex Ferguson, the pinnacle being their victory in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 with a 2–1 win over Real Madrid, in which the then 19-year-old Black scored the first goal. Black's main assets were his strength in the air (despite not being particularly tall) and goalscoring instincts. In February 1983, Black scored a hat-trick in a 3–1 win against Celtic, as of 2020 still the last visiting player to score three at Celtic Park. He made 180 appearances (30 as substitute) in all competitions for Aberdeen and scored 70 goals between 1981 and 1986, winning two Scottish Football League titles, three Scottish Cups and a Scottish League Cup as well the Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup in 1983. He missed out on a potential fourth Scottish Cup medal when he was overlooked for the 1986 final having already agreed to move abroad.

In summer 1986, Black joined Metz in France. He had initially agreed a deal in principle with Arsène Wenger to join Monaco, but this fell through when Wenger was not released from his previous club contract at that time as had been anticipated. After five seasons (1986 to 1991) with Metz, during which he won the Summer Cup (forerunner of the League Cup) within weeks of arriving in 1986 and the French Cup in 1988 (and off the field became a father to two children), Black was forced to retire from the game aged 27 due to a chronic back problem. Alex Ferguson later admitted that injury problems suffered by Black and other young players he had managed at Aberdeen were due to them playing an excessive number of games at a young age. In all, Black made 95 appearances for Metz, scoring 34 goals. Read even more about Eric Black at Wikipedia
