    Two managers who look most alike in our history?

    Is it true that Steve Parkin used to lock himself in the broom cupboard and cry after a defeat?

    He’s had a decent career as assistant coach since leaving us to be fair (alongside Phil Parkinson).

    Talk to Big Jon Parkin about him.
    Every club Jon Played for as soon as Steve Parkin came to the club, he used to say to the boys on the training field,
    " well that's my days numbered here "
    He wasn't a big fan of the Beast .
    I wasn't a big fan of Steve Parking.

    Maybe he'd have been alright if he'd been called John Flapjack? That might have been o.k. There was only enough Parkin for one.

    Those were the Beasts words exactly.
    There's only room for one Parkin at this club.

    To be fair Jon Parkin must have been a nightmare to manage, he was more interested in getting pissed. He was massively overweight and basically couldn't be arsed to be a professional footballer.

    Played at a very good level , imagine how good he could have been if he hadn't drank beer and ate kebabs.
