Giorgio Chinaglia (born January 24, 1947 in Carrara) was an Italian football striker.
Chinaglia grew up in Wales and began his career with local club Swansea Town and also played for Massese, Internapoli, and Lazio in his native Italy. He made his name with Lazio, where he played for seven seasons. In 1974 Chinaglia scored a goal in the Rome derby, and pointed to the Curva Sud, Roma fans, and taunted them. Chinaglia led Lazio to the club's first championship in its history and was the league's lead scorer.
In 1976, Chinaglia moved the NASL and the New York Cosmos, where he enjoyed great success, scoring 192 goals in 213 games, the best in the defunct league's history. He led the league in scoring four times and would be the NASL's all-time leading scorer.
Chinaglia had 14 caps and scored four goals for Italy, and played in the 1974 World Cup.
In 2000 he was inducted into the U.S.A. National Soccer Hall of Fame.
