Edon Amaral Neto, usually known as Edinho (born December 11, 1967) is a former Brazilian football (soccer) striker.
After playing for several Brazilian teams he moved to Europe and played for Portuguese side Vitória de Guimarães before moving to English side Bradford City on February 6, 1997. On March 23, 1999 he moved to Dunfermline Athletic in Scotland, where he scored once against Hearts.[1]
The Bradford City fans' website Boy from Brazil takes its name from Edinho having been created while the Brazilian played at Valley Parade. Edinho was signed by Chris Kamara and quickly became a fan favourite.
