Blackburn Rovers are devastated to learn of the passing of Tony Parkes.
A true club legend, often referred to as โMr Blackburn Roversโ, Tony passed away last night at the age of 76.
Everyone at the club sends their deepest heartfelt condolences to Tonyโs daughter Natalie and all his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.
A special tribute will be held to celebrate Tonyโs life and his outstanding contribution to the clubโs history at our final home game of the season against Leicester City on Saturday May 2nd.
Fingers crossed for two of my old clubs #Rovers and #WBA ahead of a huge weekend in the Championship starting tonight at Ewood.
