As an unknown apprentice with Third Division club Swansea Town in the 1960s, Chinaglia stole milk bottles from doorsteps because he couldn't afford breakfast. Nine years later he was on an annual salary of #85,000. This biography tells his remarkable rags-to-riches story.


As an unknown apprentice with Third Division club Swansea Town in the 1960s, Chinaglia stole milk bottles from doorsteps because he couldn't afford breakfast. Nine years later he was on an annual salary of #85, 000. Chinaglia, who had lived in South Wales since he was eight, returned to his native Italy to rebuild his ailing career and, after spells with two Third Division clubs, he joined Roman side Lazio in 1969. There, in the Olympic Stadium, Chinaglia became the idol of the Lazio tifosi. In 1974 he finished Series A top scorer with 24 goals and helped Lazio to their first - and so far, only - league title, pipping the traditional giants Juventus, Milan and Inter. This biography tells his remarkable rags-to-riches story.
