Italy was the place to be in the 1980s – it became clear by this season: the top players of the world one after another moved to play for Italian clubs. And the clubs, in turn, restored their leading position in Europe. Of course, the word is about the top first division clubs – down in the lower levels it was anonymous as ever. So, a brief glance discovers only unfamiliar names. And one thing was stubbornly unchanging – ties continued to rule Italian football.
Forth level – Serie C/2. Four groups of 18 teams each, the top two promoted to Third level.
Perhaps the only club familiar to today’s observer is Frosinone. Nobody heard of the name back then – they were 5th in Girone D. In good year, they played third level football; in not so-good – 4th. Nobody ever envisioned First Division.
So, the winning teams, moving up:
Prato won Girone A with 50 points.
Foligno was 2nd with 44 points.
With 52 points Legnano was victorious in Girone B.
Fanfulla was 2nd with 44 points.
Francavilla – champions of Girone C with 48 points.
Civitanovese – 2nd with 45 points.
Messina was the winner of Girone G with 46 points.
Akragas – 2nd with 45 points.
Good luck to all of them in the Third Division next season.
