INFO:
Parkinson was a centre forward and inside right. He spent almost his entire career at Liverpool, making 219 appearances from 1903 to 1914, scoring 128 goals. He retired in 1915 after one season at Bury. He capped for England twice in 1910. Although he was deployed as centre forward at Liverpool with great success, his favourite position was inside right. In fact, the latter was his role in his previous clubs in minor leagues. A highly prolific and extremely quick striker, Parkinson apparently was one the fastest players in Great Britain at the time. He suffered several injuries that limited his career, although he still had a great scoring rate for most seasons. His most prolific period was between 1909-10 and 1910-11. Parkinson was clever in the movements as much as he was in passing the ball to the wingers. In fact, he didn’t lack of courage, determination, will of assisting a teammate. Remarkably accurate in front of the goal, he could beat the goalkeeper with well-placed shots, not relying only on strength to find a way to score. He was feared by many defenders as he was hard to tackle due to his dashing movements, turns of speed, smoothness in trapping the ball received from a pass, and controlling it well even when he was pressed by an opponent.
