YORK City FC are rightly extending 36-year-old Jon Parkin’s contract to the summer of 2019.
Congratulations to a player who throughout his career has earned his wages by doing what he is employed to do - score goals.
An attribute upon which his younger colleagues may come to reflect, while themselves thinking they are near his equal. When in truth they are not worthy to be named on the same teamsheet.
Peter Rickaby, West Park, Selby
