Eddy Berdusco (born 8 September 1969 in Mississauga) is a Canadian retired professional footballer. He began his career in the Canadian Soccer League, where he finished as the third all-time highest goalscorer. After the demise of the CSL he spent some time abroad in Europe, China, before returning to North America to play with the Milwaukee Rampage. Berdusco would spend the remainder of his career in the Canadian Professional Soccer League, winning several team championships with the Toronto Olympians, and retiring with the Toronto Supra in 2002.
Berdusco also played internationally for Canada and scored one of its most memorable goals in a friendly against Brazil in 1994.
The son of Italian immigrants, Berdusco was the original Canadian Soccer League's 3rd all-time highest goal scorer with 54 from 1988 through 1992 as a member of North York Rockets. In 1988, he was the league's 5th leading scorer with 11 goals, in 1990 the 6th leading scorer with 9 goals, in 1991 the league's 2nd leading scorer with 14 goals, and in the league's final season he led in scoring with 14 goals. After the folding of the CSL he signed with the Toronto Blizzard of the American Professional Soccer League in 1993. He made his debut for the club on May 23, 1993 in a match against the Tampa Bay Rowdies. After the Blizzard failed to reach the postseason, he went abroad to Europe to sign with FC Wil in Switzerland, and had a short spell in Austria, playing three matches in November 1994 for VfB Mödling. After his tenure in Europe he came to a conclusion to go to China to play in the Jia League with now defunct Foshan Fosti F.C. (along with fellow Canadian international Ian Carter) in 1994.
