Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Alcides Edgardo Ghiggia (born 22 December 1926 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a former football player. He achieved lasting fame due to his decisive role in the final match of the 1950 World Cup. Ghiggia, an excellent dribbler on the right wing, 1,69 m short and 62 kg light, is considered one of the best wingers of the 1950s. The World Cup winner of 1950 played for the national sides of Uruguay and Italy. He also played for the club sides of the Pearol and Danubio in Montevideo and AS Roma and AC Milan in Italy. In 1948 Ghiggia got the opportunity to play for the Uruguayan top side CA Pearol where was soon regarded indispensable. By 1949 he won his first national championship. A second one followed in 1951. He reached a low point in his career in 1952 when he attacked a referee and subsequently was barred for about a year. At the beginning of the European 1953/54 season Ghiggia moved to AS Roma in the Italian Serie A, where he was even team captain in 1957/58. With Roma he won the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the precursor to the UEFA Cup, albeit he took no part in the finals against Birmingham City. With almost 35 years of age he was then the oldest player of his team. In eight seasons he played 201 Serie A matches for Roma scoring 15 goals. The best league ranking in this period was third place in 1955. In 1961 he moved to AC Milan for a year and won the Scudetto, the Italian championship, with the rossoneri, albeit only playing four league matches in the whole season. After this he left Milan to return to his home country. After his return to Montevideo Ghiggia joined the then minor first division club Danubio FC. Without adding to ...
