    Best wishes to Phil, one of the greatest goalkeepers I've ever seen.

    Best wishes Phil, my 1st QPR hero and the reason I wanted to be a goalkeeper and not an outfield player.

    Sorry to hear this and I wish him all the best.

    Should have won more than just a solitary international cap but Revie did the dirty on him.

    Also odd that there were two goalkeepers called Phil Parkes playing in the top division at the same time.

    Great keeper and competitor, and I enjoyed his question and answer session at half-time recently. Good luck, Phil.

    Understand all he is going through, as my father and a close friend have both suffered with this over the past two years. Thankfully caught early in both cases and neither needed chemo or radiotherapy. I hope his treatment follows theirs.

    Thoughts and prayers, Phil. Get well soon.
