Comment
Parkin first came to City fans' attention in the Fourth Division when he lunked around ineffectually in the York City defence.  However in two years he transformed his career by moving up front and scoring a hatful of goals for Macclesfield Town, a development that encouraged City to part with a reputed £150,000 for his services.  Parkin was very tall, bulky and strong - yet possessed a decent touch as well as being a danger in the air.  Two goals in his first two games and a wholehearted, nay downright intimidatory, approach to the game has made him an immediate fans' favourite and entitled him to the soubriquet "The Beast".  However, after a decent start to 2006-07 weight and attitude problems affected his form and Parkin was loaned out to Stoke City in March 2007 before being brought back to help support the increasingly desperate flight against relegation.  His complete lack of effort noted when called upon during that relegation dogfight, Parkin was shipped back to Stoke that summer for an agreeable 275k plus add-ons.  And as the Tigers and the Potters both ascended to the Premier League, Parkin still cast an overweight figure and was sold to Preston.  After two and a half season of regular goals, Parkin was signed by Cardiff City on the eve of Phil Brown taking over the Deepdale reins.  But his time at Cardiff was not successful and he embarked on a series of form-finding loans in League 1.
