“I feel incredibly honoured and proud to have enjoyed the career that I have and I”
“He has been an inspirational figure for the Irons and hopefully his professionalism will be rewarded with West Ham staying up at the end of the season.”
“He did a lot for the team, he was good even in the games he played for the national team.”
“He [Parker] is probably the player who has driven them [West Ham] on and motivated them to still have a chance of staying up, even though they have a mountain to climb now.”
“The manager and board have tried hard to convince me to stay but at this stage in my career, I need to be playing in the Premier League, especially now that I am involved with England.”
