Efraín or Yeprem "Chico" Chacurian (born 22 February 1924 in Córdoba, Argentina) is a retired Argentine-American soccer forward. He was earned four caps, scoring one goal, as a member of the U.S. national team in 1953 and 1954. He was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1992
==Professional career==
Chacurian was born in Argentina to Armenian immigrant parents. In 1939, he signed with Racing Club of the Argentine First Division. He was fifteen years old at the time. In 1947 at the age of twenty-three, he moved to the United States to live with relatives of his mother to find work when a players strike in Argentina left him penniless. When he arrived in New York, he joined the semi-pro New York Armenians of the New York Eastern District League. In the six months he spent with the Armenians, he was named the league MVP as his team took the league title. This brought him to the attention of Brooklyn Hispano of the American Soccer League (ASL). He signed with Hispano in 1947. When not playing Chacurian held several side jobs including time as a printer and as a watchmaker. He also played with several All Star teams against visiting European national and professional clubs. This included games in 1949 against Scotland, Inter-Milan and Celtic. However, in the fall of 1949, Chacurian considered returning to Argentina. As he related it, “I bought a ticket to go home and visit. It took 18 days sailing one-way to Argentina. I saw my mother, and I played professional soccer down there again. Everything was successful, but I realized, I can’t live here anymore. America is pulling me back.” () He was back in the U.S. by the end of February 1950. When he returned to the U.S., he joined the New York Swiss of the German American Soccer League (GASL). He spent the next eight seasons with the Swiss. In 1958, he moved to Bridgeport City in Connecticut.
