It appears Mr Parkin has taken to cricket in his retirement.
Edit: Bonus photo - he's certainly looking his age now!

Unfortunately Jon Parkin being played as a goalkeeper is banned by Intergalactic treaty as he is thought to be a GELF.
(Taken from Red Dwarfs Better than Life)
“Soccer players were bred with five legs and no mouths, making after-match interviews infinitely more interesting. However, not all breeds of genetic athletes were accepted by the GAS and new rules had to be created after the 2224 World Cup, when Scotland fielded a goalkeeper who was a human oblong of flesh, measuring eight feet high by sixteen across, thereby filling the entire goal. Somehow they still failed to qualify for the second round.”

Makes Jack Simmons look a lightweight.
Get to keep the trophy for a full 24 hours until Sunderland or Tranmere play this years final
Happy for Clarke but not a fan of Salford, when i lived there they were a proper non league club with a great group of fans, the united connection totally ripped out the soul of that club
I know what you mean. I could wish them well when Grezza was manager for Grezza’s sake, but that’s gone now
Those fans that were with them in non league must be living the dream now though!
Mawene is still there though.
Was that a Lamb Leg End?

Great for Tom. Not many footballers can say they've won two Wembley finals. Well done, Tom. We could do with a leader like Tom in his prime just now.
We should never have let him go , one of the worst decisions north end ever made . He's one of the best players I've seen at deepdale

Great player but had a nothing career since leaving us.
Did we let him go? It was a loan and then he didn’t want to come back did he? Preferred Sunderland and their better team
By all accounts he was not given the option of coming back.
Assuming the fact that Grayson immediately went for him, that decision came from the higher ups
Can’t imagine why? Unless he was a disruptive influence
