"It's a sad day for #Blackburn #Rovers and it's a sad day for the squad of our era. My memories of him are his sense of humour. He had that glint in his eye."
Tim Flowers and @kevingallacher8 remember the great Tony Parkes

"I probably became closer to [Tony Parkes] after I retired and had some really, really good chats about football and life. I'm sure everyone will celebrate how much he meant to them."

Blackburn Rovers mourn more than a former player, coach, or manager.
They mourn a true servant, a symbol of dedication, and a legend whose legacy will never fade.
Rest in peace, Tony Parkes from all at @BRFPA

Across generations, he remained a constant presence at Ewood Park, a man whose influence stretched far beyond tactics and team sheets. His contribution helped shape the soul of the club.

He didn’t chase headlines; he earned respect. His connection with the fans, the players, and the town ran far deeper than results on a pitch — he represented continuity, identity, and heart.

Whenever the club needed stability, humility, and quiet strength, he was there — not for recognition, but because it was his club.
Often called upon in moments of uncertainty, Tony Parkes guided Blackburn with calm authority and deep understanding. 2/5

Tony Parkes wasn’t just part of @Rovers — he was Blackburn Rovers.
From pulling on the shirt as a player to dedicating decades behind the scenes as a coach,stepping up time and again as caretaker,Parkes embodied loyalty in a way modern football rarely sees. 1/5 @lancstelegraph

Sad news today as Tony Parkes, a true Blackburn Rovers legend, has passed away. A loyal servant to the club as player,coach and caretaker manager, his dedication and passion will never be forgotten. Thoughts are with his family and all who knew him. 💙🖤 #RIPTonyParkes

"We were a team feared across the land, and that was because of Jack and the infrastructure and squad he built."
@chris_sutton73 and Ian Pearce have every right to celebrate a glorious piece of history.
