Being named after a cake obviously set him on his path in life.
'Parkin or Perkin is a soft cake traditionally made of oatmeal and molasses,[1] which originated in Northern England. Often associated with Yorkshire, particularly the Leeds area,[2] its precise origins are unclear, and it is very widespread and popular in other areas, such as Lancashire. Parkin is generally moist and even sometimes sticky. In Hull and East Yorkshire, it has a drier, more biscuit-like texture than in other areas. Parkin is traditionally eaten on Bonfire Night,[3] but is also enjoyed year-round. It is baked commercially throughout Yorkshire, but is a mainly domestic product in other areas.' from wikipedia

Probably (definitely) won't sign him, but it is a player like him that we need, someone big and strong that can hold the ball up to bring others into play, and get double figures for us next season.
he was a fatso when he scored a cracking double against sheff wedsnesday, and the winner v leeds..never stopped him then..
would still back him to score more then mclean, even after a double helping of fish and chips...

I agree, he's the Swanny of his era, wasted his career in the lower leagues because he can't control himself off the pitch. The guy has a beautiful touch, there are people in the Prem like Beckford at Everton who have half his talent but can move about the pitch.
He goes straight from training to the pub, he goes straight from a game to the pub.
He'd fit in well in my veterans team, but it's hardly ideal for a professional footballer.

I loved the guy when he was here, if only because he started out as a centre-half (my position) and moved up front (my dream) after a few seasons at York. 
Look at the size of the lad!

John Parkin was recently seen at the Cottingham training ground with a back pack. The security guard worriedly asks him what he's got in the bag. He replies "Porno dvd's, some counterfeit match day tickets, hooky replica shirts, some drugs & a gun!" The security guard says "Thank **** for that...I thought you'd brought your boots!!!"
