Not many teams lose only one game in a season and miss out on the title, though. Rarer still are those who go unbeaten only to finish second. As we have touched on in this column before, Perugia did this in the 1978-79 Serie A season. Curse those dastardly draws.

Serie A (1978-79)
Milan P30 W17 D10 L3 F46 A19 +27 44

Perugia P30 W11 D19 L0 F34 A16 +18 41

That must have hurt!

19 draws out of 30 matches though! That's shocking. Barely scraped an average of a goal a game too.
