Parkin was a legend in a low level team, achieving more and immediately became a hero in his time here. For almost half of JAFs time he was seen as a flop, but once he started doing it he offered a quality that had scarceky been seen at the CG ever. A goal machine but a chracter too, unlike some of our 'greats' who were past there best (Hoddle), JAF was immense, and single handedly nearly got us to a league cup final. Bearing in mind how destitute the team he played in was, and that his main strike partners were Keith Scott and Andy Mutch, that shows the quality.

Jan the man was something special. Parkin, although quality, wasn't fit to clean his boots!

simple, which one do you rate more.......and why. For me its parkin, he was immense, dont get me wrong Fjortoft was a great player however I never felt it meant as much to him as it did parkin. Someone as old as you really ought to know better! Thats not to say Parkin isnt also a hero though. He also left the club in an improved state to when he arrived (of which Sam had a massive contribution to) and you couldnt say the same about Fjortoft. |

I think Parkin was the more significant striker in terms of STFC history than Fjortoft. For one his transfer fee kept us going...
I think Jan Aage had the ability to excite me as a fan more though, and his celebration was ace. So it has to be Fjortoft for me.

Parkin was more of a legend, because he stuck around....scored more goals, was here longer....and he clearly loved it and made the best debut ever...
Fjortoft wasnt even here 2 season. A better player than Parkin, of course....fond memories, damn straight....

So many people over-rate Parkin. He was very good at a mediocre league 1 side, no doubt - but he's not even proven at championship level FFS. That said I hope he makes it

Fjortoft was easily the better of those 2, by a whole country road map.
Shearer, as mentioned, was probably the best of my era though on the basis of his consistency and ability combined.

Shearer was my original hero, and I'd have loved tp have seen him in teh old top flight if 1990 debacle had never happened, the ultimate goal getter, he'd score fom all angles and had a knack of doing nowt but score the winner. A great record for us, more in the Parkin mould as a player only much better, he perhaps lacked the audacious flare jan had though.

all different opinions spencer, to me parkin was part of a promotion push (one of the seasons that really made me get this club in my blood), fjortoft was always ina relegation battle. Fjortoft scored some cracking goals though....also fjortoft was when I was 12 and its rather vague now
