Vincenzo D'Amico

Vincenzo D'Amico, born 5 November 1954 and died 1 July 2023, was an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder or forward. Over seventeen seasons in Italian professional football he spent most of his career with S.S. Lazio. In 1985 he played for the New York Cosmos in a friendly match against Lazio at Giants Stadium in New Jersey, assigned to the New York roster by Giorgio Chinaglia, who owned both clubs. Lazio won 2 to 1, and D'Amico scored the only goal for New York, which turned out to be the last goal in the history of the original Cosmos, as the club folded soon afterward. He died of cancer at Gemelli hospital at the age of 68.
