Always sad to hear of the passing of a former footballer, but I thought this one might interest some of the older readers: I was in Junior school in Cardiff when a tall loud lad came in and dominated all the yard football games. Our scouting was rubbish in those days, very primitive as I recall, lots of good players passed under our noses because of lack of foresight and finance.....who knows what he could have done for us!

sad news and my condolences are with his family and friends.......seems like he was a top fella <rose>
 
If you can get a copy of his autobiography its a cracking read i think i have still got it somewhere, time for another read of it methinks, chinaglia was a top player in his day, i believe his old man had a cafe/restaurant somewhere in cardiff if i remember right. Sadly he left the swans 2 or 3 years before i started supporting them.

RIP Giorgio and condolences to the family

I suppose it`s foolish to dwell on it, but had the camera`s been around Pontcanna Fields and the like a few years back....who knows, you could be watching a montage of my goals against Roath Villa etc.
What a player and finisher we missed out on eh?

football was football in them days <ok>


great video of a top footballer nice one siam <cheers>.....twas a real plessure seeing people stay on thy feet and finish of with a goal,.....tis a much better feeling knowing youve earned your win rather than cheated it <cheers>
