Edwin Ronald Firmani (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɛddi firˈmaːni]; born 7 August 1933) is a former professional football player and manager.
At the time the Charlton team included several South Africans, John Hewie, Stuart Leary and Sid O'Linn.
During his first spell with Charlton he married Pat Robinson, daughter of the club's assistant manager.
After two years he moved to Southend United in the third division but returned to The Valley for a third spell with Charlton two seasons later.
Firmani is the only man ever to have scored 100 League goals in both England and Italy, albeit only 50 in the English first division.
In 1975, he played one game for the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League.
He was the first of only three coaches (Ron Newman and Al Miller) to win both an outdoor and indoor title in the NASL.
He mentioned in an interview how he and his wife had "liked it in Oman", and then described how he had led Sur to the first division for the first time in the club's history.
