Eddie Edgar (born October 31, 1956) is an English former professional football goalkeeper.
Edgar was born in Jarrow and most notably played professionally for Newcastle United, although he made only one appearance for the club in a 4-2 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Derby County in 1976. He also played for Hartlepool United before moving to North America where he continued to play professionally, including a spell with New York Cosmos in the same side as Pelé. He now resides in Kitchener, Ontario.
He now is a businessman and lives outside the UK with his wife, and was last publicly seen on Tyneside at the Newcastle United home game v Manchester United on January 1 2007, watching his son, David Edgar make his home debut, and ironically score, gaining much love from the Geordie public. Eddie only made one comment which was that "He did not make it properly for Newcastle, but he is hoping his son, who remains adamant, will, and he will support him all the way."
Eddie Edgar still has family routes on the Tyne, namely his father, known only as Mr Edgar, whom lives contently in Jarrow, and involves himself in Sport in the Community. He trains and coaches a young group of footballers from local, Jarrow St Bedes RC Primary School.
His son David is an up and coming exciting young footballer who plays professionally as a central defender for English Premier League giants Newcastle United.
