Always remember Graeme Souness allowing Tony to accompany the team out in the Worthington Cup Final

Wrong thread (good podcast by the way!)

Good podcast again. I wish Tony and all his family all the best.

Nice to hear again Only One J Henry's version of By Gum We'll Make It a Day. I love this slow version. This together with the Wild Rover as played at Ewood should be adopted forever as Rovers' themes.

Best wishes to his daughter, what an awful time she's been though.

We need a Tony Parkes statue to go alongside Jack.
