I’m pretty sure you’re right - I certainly remember Parkes scoring a longe range effort against Luton but can’t definitively say whether it was in that 3-0 win (April 76) or not. It does sound about right though.

Our kid played a few Rovers reserves games as a teenager with Tony when he was coming to the end of his own career. He says that he always took the time to pass on his wisdom to the young lads coming through in a really kind way, which echoes what you have said. Also, anyone linked to Colin Hendry on Facebook will see a lovely post about Tony (as well as a brilliant photo of the pair of them taken just last week).

Really sorry to hear this. It’s a cruel and devastating disease that many families will have direct experience of. Thoughts are with Tony and his family. The word legend is bandied about a bit too much these days but who would deny that Tony Parkes is “Mr Blackburn Rovers”?

Pretty fair analysis there I would say DE.
