Super Scotty Parker!

22/8/2013

PictureIf Scott Parker featured in 300, it would have been called 1!
"I'm gonna knock him down and wrestle him to the ground. I don't care,I'm getting the ball back!" This is what Scotty would probably tell himself while getting the possession back and getting the ball moving again for the Lilywhites. Not once,not twice. A hundred times over and over again.

I would like to express my views as we see our workhorse join Fulham after serving two sensational years at Tottenham.


Signing him for 5 million pounds from the then relegated club, West Ham, certainly raised a few eyebrows.So many questions were raised. Was he the right man Spurs are looking for? Are we taking a step forward? No,no. Super Scotty just didn't clear our doubts,he SMASHED them.



Often we saw Parker hassling and battling and tackling to get the ball back. His discipline and commitment spoke volumes of this midfield powerhouse. Scotty had established a great partnership with  our midfield maestro,Luka Modric. Tirelessly chasing or rather hunting down the opponent,Scotty would give in a 110% for us. Undoubtedly,his energy and dedication was second to none. So good that he always remained no.1,keeping out the beast we now know as 'Sandro'. Old Harry would have no option but to deploy Parker in the central midfield.
PictureParker carried on in the match even after this nasty injury agaisnt the club he just signed for,Fulham,in our 3-1 away win at Craven Cottage. Some fella.
Unfortunately,Parker leaves Tottenham without a single goal scored. He came closest to score against FC Basel in the Europa League quarter final,where his attempt to pass the ball in an empty net took an unlucky deflection of Lewis Holtby,lying helplessly on the ground. Not the best dribbler or attacker around,but Scotty sure had other attributes of his that made sure he was always loved at The Lane. So much that he was voted the best player of the season 2011-2012.


Performing with pride,winning the ball back and allowing the creative craft of the team to embrace its expressive freedom, Super Scotty would always pick himself up,in his typically dirty shirt,waiting for another battle.

GOOD LUCK SCOTTY!

agree, scotty was just what was needed when we signed him. First season immense. 2nd did't perform as well,partly due to injury. Always gave 100% and every club needs a couple of players in that mold. Great professional. Always wanted to retain ball rather than drive forward when we needed quick ball but he leaves with best wishes, and as for that goal, well he can pop the winner in this weekend and i'd be very happy.

After reading that i'm starting to miss Scotty. A fierce competitor and model professional. One must think back to the days when the twitterati gave him the same treatment usually reseved for err.. Rajnikanth to understand his role in our successes over the past few years. Wish him all the best and hope he continues causing problems for our rivals this season.

The guy oozed class. On AND off the pitch. Hope to see him as a coach at spurs when he decides to hang up his boots.
