Eddie Firmani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eddie Firmani (born August 7, 1933 as Edwin Ronald Firmani) was a South African-born football (soccer) centre-forward with Italian ancestry which earned him caps for Italy, who in three spells at Charlton Athletic made 177 appearances and scored 89 goals.
Firmani moved to Sampdoria in 1955 for a then British record £35,000.
Firmani also played for Internazionale, Genoa and Southend United before managing Charlton, Tampa Bay, New York Cosmos, Montreal Manic, and the MetroStars.
He led the Rowdies to their only NASL Championship in 1975, the team's first year.
Firmani is the only man ever to have scored 100 League goals in both England and Italy.
