Aldo De Fazio was born in Salerno on May 26, 1927.
He started playing football for Salernitana. From 1945 to 1948 he went on loan to Filotranvia, Nocerina and Arsenaltaranto to then go back to Salernitana for the 1948-49 season. In 1949 he moved to Rome to the right side of the Tiber.
He stayed six years at Lazio with the exception of 1951-52 when he was loaned to Lucchese. He made 25 appearances as second goalkeeper and also winning the reserves league in 1952-53 and 1955-56. In 1956-57 he was out of action for six months due to injury and then loaned to Salernitana. He really did not want to stay so he asked for a very high wage which surprisingly the club accepted so he stayed on. That season they almost got promoted to Serie B arriving third just one point behind Lecco. He later became a manger, coaching Cavese, Nocerina, and many other lower tier clubs.
One anecdote: his brother-in-law, Giovanni D’Avino, in 1956-57 scored with a shot taken from midfield in a Catanzaro vs Salernitana game. De Fazio took offence and did not talk to him for many years!!!
He died in Salerno on May 19, 2009.
