Eduardo "Eddy" Gesualdo (born November 28, 1968) was a Canadian soccer player who played as a midfielder for the Winnipeg Fury.[1]

Career[edit]

Eddy played with the Winnipeg Fury, from 1990 to 1992.[2] In 1992, he asked for his release from the club, after their 5–2 victory against Montreal Supra at Winnipeg Stadium, following a decrease in his playing time.[3] He had made 14 total appearances during the 1990 and 1991 seasons, but had not made any appearances in 1992.[4]

He has also been noted to play with the Sons of Italy Lions, Ital-Inter, Lucania and AC Italia in Winnipeg.[citation needed] In 2008, the 1992 Canadian Soccer League Champion Winnipeg Fury were inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame, with members of the team re-uniting to play against local team AC Italia, which was Gesualdo's current team, resulting in him playing against his former teammates..[5]
