People you should know-The Animal

Edmundo Alvez de Souza Neto only spent a short time with Verdy, but he possibly could have been the most talented and probably the most unforgettable. Edmundo was known for his prolific scoring and his quick temper, accumulating a copius amount of red cards throughout his career. He was one of the strikers for Brazil's 2nd place finish in World Cup 1998. The Animal graced Tokyo with his presence for a brief time in 2002, turning his game on and off at will, nearly single-handedly winning a title for Verdy in 2002. Edmundo was involved in a car accident that left 3 dead but was released from any responsibility. His most infamous moment, however was at his son's first birthday, when he purchased a monkey and got it drunk.

He now plies his trade for Palmieras in Brazil. Here's hoping the gentle soul graces us with his presence one last time!
