1995 FA Cup Winner

After stints in the lower leagues with Wigan Athletic and Bournemouth the combative midfielder was signed by managerless Everton on 28 December 1993 for £250,000, between the resignation of Howard Kendall and arrival of Mike Walker. While at the Premier League side he made 107 appearances, scoring 4 goals.

He became a fans' favourite at the club, playing a major part in Joe Royle's "Dogs of War" Everton team. Most memorably he won an FA Cup winner's medal when Everton defeated Manchester United in the 1995 Final.

In April 1997, Parkinson broke down after battling a knee injury most the season, and was ruled out for the remainder of the 1996-97 season as well as the entire 1997-1998 season. Parkinson was unable to return to full fitness. Complications with the injury, including 2 surgeries and a further full season out of the game (1998–1999) resulted in Parkinson retiring from football in November 1999, when only 28. This came two years after his last appearance. Despite the relatively small number of appearances he made, his contribution and commitment was recognised with a testimonial against Manchester City in 2000.

Partly inspired by the Mail's worst 100 strikers thing me and some mates were reminiscing about shit footballers and there were loads that someone suggested that the rest of us had forgotten.

My offering was Carl Serrant (Newcastle right back who crashed his porsche into the side of a Metro). Only played a handful of games for us, got injured, then loaned out and was never seen again.

Wish Simon Grayson wouldn't remember rodwell
