Vincenzo D’Amico

Vincenzo D’Amico (5 November 1954 – 1 July 2023) was an Italian footballer who played as a midfielder or forward. In all, he played seventeen seasons in Italian professional football, mostly for S.S. Lazio.
In 1985, D’Amico played for the New York Cosmos in a friendly match against Lazio in Giants Stadium in New Jersey — Giorgio Chinaglia, who owned both clubs, assigned D’Amico to the New York roster. Lazio won, 2–1, with D’Amico scoring the only goal for New York; it turned out to be the last goal in the history of the original Cosmos, as the club folded soon thereafter.
D’Amico died from cancer at Gemelli hospital on 1 July 2023, at the age of 68.
