Phil Parkinson Teaser

AddickFC81

This week our old gaffer Phil Parkinson was in charge of the Bradford side that beat Arsenal on penalties in the Cap One Cup.

But here is a very difficult teaser about Parky.

What unfortunate unique unwanted record does Parky have as player that he shared with the rest of his team mates in one particular season that has only ever happened once?

Go on, what is it?

I know he was a legend at Reading, there pretty much the only club he played for.

They were all incompetent wankers who were a disgrace to the shirt?

In 1998–1999, Parkinson played in the Bury team that were relegated from the second tier on goals scored, the only team to have ever done so.

Good stat

That would be a good stat if it were true, but PP had left for Reading several years before that. There was one Charlton man involved in that relegation though. Their goalkeeper that season was Dean Kiely. He transferred to us that summer, so The Shakers' loss was our gain.

That relegation must seem doubly tough on Bury as there were 4 teams all finishing on 47 points. But then, if you only score 35 goals in 46 games, you're asking for trouble.
