The 12 most frequent, of the 254 games Giorgio Chinaglia has an appearance on record for. Two players count as teammates in a game when both have an appearance in it for the same club, so this is drawn from lineups rather than from rosters — and it is only as complete as the lineups are. Whole leagues here recorded none.
