Barnsley FC have lost one of their biggest fans too, makes it even more of a shame that they didn't get promoted instead of SW last season :(

R.I.P.

I think I might have got the Tykes-supporting bit mixed up with Dickie Bird!

Parky sure was a cricket lover anyway 👍

I wonder if Emu will be waiting for him up there. RIP Parky.

I was fortunate enough to know Parky quite well. An absolute gentleman of a man, humble and loyal to his friends and family. No hint of 'celebrity' about him, just a lovely intelligent man.

He was at the 2000 play off final, there is pictorial evidence on the ITFC panoramic photograph.

Very fond memories of watching his interviews. Posh & Becks one is iconic, of course the frosty Meg Ryan one too and Mohammed Ali. Countless others, he was a pro at his art.

RIP. Very sad but what a life well lived.

I was too young to watch Parky in his BBC 70s heyday. But I've seen some compilations of it they occasionally put on BBC4. Shows with Peter Sellers & Spike Milligan, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore. Ali. The Big Yin. All the 70s actors who liked a drink. Absolute TV Gold. Nobody trying to promote a film or book, just telling great stories.
RIP Parky

Sad to hear.

His show theme tune always brings back great memories of my childhood.

Fun fact:

Pete Townshend's dad Cliff played sax in Parky's house band.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

Rod Hull won't be waiting "up" anywhere.

Not after last time!
