[ChuckleBantam]

Top Man! Wonder if he's worked out how to work the central heating yet?

[Chasser]

Best ever atmosphere at VP when Edinho played; He used to get the crowd going,
ran circles round the so called great "Emerson" of borough at VP,& was known
through out the COUNTRY as a top striker.

Great bloke and a quality player... Too good for us at the time which made him even better in my eyes...

[Spoonhead]

didnt he once wear 2 shirts?when he scored he took one off,chucked it into the crowd and he had another on underneath!legendary diving ability as i remember.

[komakino]

1st time he scored for City I think he pulled the old 2nd shirt trick. I'll always remember him for for causing the 16 man brawl against Bury. Everyones piling in, and there's Edinho on the edge of the box 60 yards away, whistling nonchalantly.

Hero.

[king billy]

Aye - the wee fella was a top man, 100 percenter and very skillfull, saw him in the Queens hall decked out in Miami Vice type t-shirt with suit jacket and stonewashed jeans (bless) - seems fashion never hit Brazil and Portugal....lol - when me and my mates started doing the "were not worthy bowing" whilst chanting "Edinho" he started laughing and bought us all a round, couldn't speak a chuffing word of English though!! - i'll have a pint of what the lad had who said he was better than Carbone though....lol

[kiko]

Interesting reading :confused: :confused:

Edinho arrived to Portugal for the Farense, indicated by the old one craque Brazilian (international by the "Escrete") Gil, that dressed to camisola of the "Lions" of the capital Algarvia in the beginning of the decade of eighty.
