Championship Letters 6: Jon Parkin as Falstaff
Championship Letters 6: Jon Parkin as Falstaff
My fellow blogger Ben conjured up the unforgettable phrase lantern-jawed bludgeoners to describe Preston front duo Neil Mellor and Jon Parkin recently. Like Falstaff, the immortal character from Henry IV, Parkin gets about the pitch “for a big lad”, although one suspects Ferguson fils may be looking for more mobility after working with comparative whippets at Posh. If family traits follow, then one would expect young Darren to be absent from Big Jon’s death bed scene as was Prince Hal.
