Summary

[edit]
Francesco Graziani and Paolo Pulici, Torino's attacking duo in the 1976–77 season

During summer the club transferred in left-back defender Luigi Danova and midfielder Cesare Crotti. In League the team competed in a photo-finish race for the trophy against Juventus,[2] being this race the most competed in League since the 1963-64 campaign (Bologna vs Inter) . However, both Juventus an Toro clinched more victories and points than other season of 30 rounds.[3] The squad resented playing the European Cup and dropped few points, finally, in spite of only lost a match in the entire season and reaching a massive 50 points, Il Toro lost the trophy on the final round by just a single point against its archival Juventus[4]
