 Eddy Baggio is also the younger brother of the legendary Italian footballer Roberto Baggio, who played as a second striker for Italy, but unlike Roberto, Eddy never made his Serie A debut.Like several of his siblings, Eddy was named after a famous athlete, in his case the Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx, whilst his older brother Roberto was named after two of his father's Italian footballing idols, Roberto Boninsegna and Roberto Bettega.Neither of the brothers are related to the former Italian defensive midfielder Dino Baggio.
