Edmundo
Encyclopedia
Edmundo Alves de Souza Neto (born 2 April 1971 in Niterói
), better known simply as Edmundo, is a retired Brazilian footballer
.
Edmundo played for Brazil
at the 1998 World Cup. For Palmeiras
, he won the Campeonato Brasileiro
in the beginning of the Nineties. For Vasco da Gama
he won 1997's Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
, scoring 29 goals. In that same year, Vasco da Gama
scored 69 goals. Edmundo also scored 6 goals in the same game in 1997, against a club from São Paulo
, União São João.
In 1999 he faced prosecution by animal welfare groups after hiring an entire circus to perform in his back garden to celebrate his son's first birthday. At the party he was accused by some individuals of the press of having a chimpanzee called Pedrinho drunk on beer and whiskey. Subsequent images of this appeared in the media (including the February, 2004 issue of the UK version of FHM
magazine) and have passed into football legend. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,708159,00.html. Days later, Edmundo proved those accusations were false. He also escaped a prison sentence for drinking driving during carnival of the same year after being involved in an accident that resulted in the deaths of his three passengers, for his behaviour he received seven day suspended sentence and was two days late returning to Florence according to the Italian sports daily Corriere della Sera
.
He was the main footballer of Palmeiras (along with Jorge Valdivia
and Marcos Reis) in the 2007 season, but his contract was not renewed. There are two versions of this fact: according to the "official" one, his salary was too high for his irregular performances. But it is more possible that the actual reason was that Caio Júnior, who was favorable to this permanence, was sacked and Vanderlei Luxemburgo
, who has personal problems with Edmundo, was hired.
In January 2008, Edmundo returned to Vasco da Gama. Unfortunately, he could not do anything when Vasco da Gama
was relegated to Campeonato Brasileiro da Série B de 2009.
In the middle of 2009, he became a football pundit in Rede TV!
. In the beginning of 2010, Rede Bandeirantes
hired him. He was part of the broadcaster's jornalstics team in the 2010 FIFA World Cup
coverage.
. In that club he started his first steps in amateur divisions and as professional.
In 1997 Vasco won the Brazilian National Championship.
Edmundo always says that his love for Vasco da Gama is like a son-mother love.
