Quote:
Era un attaccante di sfondamento, a tratti egoista in campo. Molto dotato in acrobazia e nel gioco aereo, rimangono nella memoria i suoi duelli col difensore Francesco Morini, dapprima rivale e poi compagno di squadra. Secondo un parere di Gianni Brera, Boninsegna è stato, nei primi anni 1970, il più forte centravanti del mondo insieme al connazionale Gigi Riva. Ottimo rigorista, in Serie A riuscì a mettere a segno 19 penalty consecutivi, la striscia più lunga mai realizzata nel massimo campionato italiano.
È noto col soprannome di Bonimba, termine coniato dallo stesso Brera (e non particolarmente amato da Boninsegna) durante i trascorsi dell'attaccante a Cagliari; il particolare nomignolo nacque dalla crasi tra Boninsegna e Bagonghi — quest'ultimo, un desueto pseudonimo riferito ai nani da circo — e, secondo Brera, esprimeva al meglio il fatto che, pur non vantando una grande statura fisica, Boninsegna riusciva agilmente a saltare più in alto dei suoi marcatori.
