However, Lincoln's new number 3 (!!!) Aaron Brown was on the losing side... His ability slipped through our fingers.

Parkin looks pretty focused on playing for Luton now.

They will get relegated so he will be moving on next year for sure. Weve got too many forwards, so we should shelve it and maybe try next year?

You all know if you're really honest he wasn't all that good. He was a decent lower all round league striker. He had a reasonable first touch, decent in the air, powerful shot.

Injuries have completely buggered his career in much the same way they did with another promising young striker who left us for greener fields, Peter Thorne, and asked to choose between the two of them, injury records aside, I'd say Thorne was the better player. He had a similar all-round game to Parkin, but also had a decent turn of pace.

Neither of them were as good as Big Dunc. or Jan the Man, and neither of those were really quite good enough to make it in a decent Premier League side. That should tell you something.

On a more positive note, from the snatches of him that I've seen, all on vidoe I admit, I think the kid
Cox could be a really decent player.

I thought he was crap in the air, and can only remember him scoring outside the box on one occasion (at Wycombe). But I do love him. Shame he left when he did, another season or two here would have seen him pass 100 goals and become a true, undisputed, all time legend.

Parkin will never, ever, come back here. Why would he spoil the legacy he left behind?

He was a good player, though: fact. It doesn't matter who you play for or in what division, you can only beat what is put in front of you and parkin scored goals in an average team consistently.

He had to go when he did, because if he'd waited another year and not scored so many, he might not have climbed the pyramid at all. What happened with injuries is unfortunate, but he scoed at the end of last season and got another today - he'll score loads in league two, especially with kevin nicholls behind him.

Maybe not as good as Jan or big dunc, but he's the best striker we've had since either IMO.

Im sure he would be thrilled to hear people are calling his career tragic!!  Roll Eyes

Luton need all the help they can get - I hope SSP does a job for them and helps them out of the shit situation they are in

I'm surprised he's not left, because Luton needed to get his off their wage bill. Maybe he'll still go in Jan, but if he stays he should score a bag load in league two. I just hope he does well where ever he is, he's had a horrible couple of years and he's been a miserable bastard (sorry sam)!

I think I saw you on Saturday JFW. I don't know many people on this forum but I've seen pics of some of you lot, and I'm sure I recognised you and Gazza in the Winners?
