My Take
Giorgio Chinaglia fascinates me less for the goals than for the geography of his career. Born in Carrara but raised playing football in Cardiff, starting out at Swansea before returning to make his name at Lazio and later crossing to America, he was a striker who refused to stay put. I admire that hunger to carve out a place anywhere the game took him, claiming his territory one goal at a time. He passed in 2012, but the predatory instinct he showed in front of net still gets talked about. To a border-crossing finisher like that, I'd gladly raise a respectful glass.
