Udinese Calcio had its best season since the days of Zico in the club during the 1980s. With goal scoring trio Oliver Bierhoff, Márcio Amoroso and Paolo Poggi on top form, Udinese finished fifth, even troubling the top three in the standings. Bierhoff and Poggi scored 13 goals each, while Amoroso hit the back of the net on 12 occasions. Despite the sensational results, coach Alberto Zaccheroni remained at the small club, while 1997–98 looked set to become a further improvement for Udinese.

Top scorers

gollark: No, the build system is a mess of shellscripts, a small amount of perl, a node.js program for Lua bundling, and a python script which generates the manifests/hash stuff.

gollark: Anyway, this should allow a working potatoOS™ install to be shipped as only threeish or fourish files!

gollark: It would be fully eldritch, but opening portals to the fourteenth plane is currently unavailable in Python.

gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!

gollark: Are you concerned about the security of P2P potatoUPDATES™?
