Tiny little village, no bigger than mine, winning the Italian League back on the 80's or 90's.

I think it was called Chievo(?)

Chievo have never won Serie A. I think you're thinking of Hellas Verona who won it in 1984-85. Chievo, which is technically a suburb of Verona, play in the same colours as Hellas and share the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi with them. Hellas have always been the bigger club and when they won Serie A had some world class players, like Preben Elkjaer Larsen, one of my all time favourites <ok>

Bad guess on the name then Norton.

There was a team won it 20-30 years ago where the town just has 3,000 residents though. I'd put my mortgage on it!

Hellas are the smallest club to win it in the last 40 years. I reckon you're thinking of Castel di Sangro (pop. 5000) who became the smallest club ever to get in to Serie B in 1996.
 
I honestly don't think anything can beat what Leicester have done. This isn't a one off result or achievement over 90 minutes, this is a relegation tipped club with an unfancied manager winning the Premier League whilst losing only 3 games thus far. I cant see anything like this happening again in my lifetime. Well done them....jealous as ****!
