The golden age of Serie A may be in the past for many clubs, Parma being chief among them. After being declared bankrupt earlier this year, they have since been relegated to Serie D and forced to reform as a new team, called Parma Calcio. 

As part of their bankruptcy proceedings, the club are being selling off everything, and it seems that no stone is being left unturned in an effort to raise money.

All of the team's old trophies are now up for auction, including their Cup Winners' Cup from 1993, and the two UEFA cups they won in 1995 and 1999, amongst others.

According to Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club is selling the three Coppa Italia trophies they claimed in 1992, 1999 and 2002, the European Supercup from 1994, and the Italian Supercup from 1999. Not only that, but even the trademarked name of "Parma FC" can also be ought by the highest bidder.

If you want to reminisce about the hay day of Italian football, you can take a trip down memory lane with the Off The Ball crew, who turned their attention to that very topic on the show this week.
