Gianpaolo Pozzo received a special present for his 80th birthday from Udinese supporters' group Associazione Curva Nord: a giant collage of images depicting the club owner and the stars who have donned our jersey during his 35 years at the helm
'Il Paron', as he is fondly referred to, is a veritable icon in Friuli and especially among Udinese fans. On 25 May – his birthday – the Associazione Curva Nord paid tribute to him by displaying a banner, singing chants and lighting flares. Today the same association was at Dacia Arena to hand him the commemorative collage to thank him for everything he has done for the Udinese cause over the years.
