Edon Amaral Neto, usually known simply as Edinho (born on 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.

The Bradford City fans' website [http://www.boyfrombrazil.co.uk Boy from Brazil] takes its name from Edinho having been created while the Brazilian played at Valley Parade.

Edinho famously missed a penalty while warming up before a game, which hit a spectator in the face. [ [http://football.guardian.co.uk/theknowledge/story/0,,2059215,00.html The Knowledge: Football-inspired albums | Football | guardian.co.uk ] ]
