Renato Serafini
Renato Serafini is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and Carlton in the VFL during the 1970s.
Serafini played mostly as a fullforward and topped Fitzroy's goalkicking in 1975 after kicking 34 goals in the season. Like his younger brother Laurie, he was recruited to Fitzroy from Assumption College. He crossed to Carlton in 1977 and spent two seasons with the Blues, before joining Frankston in 1979, the club's first season in the Victorian Football Association top division. Serafini was the Division 1 leading goalkicker in the 1979 home-and-away season with 95 goals, but was passed in the finals to finish third overall. He kicked 271 goals in 52 games for Frankston from 1979 until 1981. Seeking a pay rise, he shifted to Coburg during 1982.
