Brian “Coops” Cooper, well known Parma supporter from Perth (Scotland), will be one of the people portrayed in 2025 edition of Francesco Bocchi’s “Parma in posa” book.

“Parma in posa” is a project by the photographer Francesco Bocchi, that aim to portray the most renowned personalities of Parma or related with the city. In past years Bocchi took pictures of mayor, important businessmen or journalists as well as artists or sport people. Alessandro Lucarelli and Stefano Pioli, between the others, are two Parma Calcio related celebs.

We are very proud that Bocchi decided to portray one of us, an away fan, a forestér like us. We are proud for Brian – that deserves this recognition for his loyalty as a supporter – and we are proud for us all, because this means that we count, not just for Parma Calcio, but also for Parma town.

The link between supporters and the town it is something that is built day by day, year by year, travel by travel: every time we all bring back home a part of it with: the food, of course, the language, the art, the lifestyle. We also leave a little piece of us there: meetings with people becomes friendships, relationships that move on the Parma universe and we are, again, very proud and happy that photographer Francesco Bocchi had the sensitivity to understand that.
