ALTACH, Austria (Reuters) - The Alpine village of Altach boasts one supermarket, a small bakery, a furniture shop, one restaurant - and a team that sits proudly on top of the Austrian football league.

Despite not having spent a single cent on transfer fees this season and having seen their coach up sticks and join a bigger club, Altach spent the winter break two points clear at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga.
