Scott Parker Fulham
Burnley players, both past and present, have taken to social media to express their appreciation for Scott Parker following his departure from the club. Parker’s two-year tenure at Turf Moor saw him lead Burnley back to the Premier League with a remarkable 100-point promotion in his first season. However, like his predecessor Vincent Kompany, Parker faced challenges in the top flight, securing only 20 points from 34 games.
Maxime Esteve Hannibal said: “Coach, we’ve shared some unforgettable moments that will stay with us all. Thank you for the trust you placed in me, and for the way you helped me grow, both as a player and as a person. You are a brilliant coach and a wonderful human being. We would all have wanted things to end differently. Thank you for everything. One of the best.”
Connor Roberts said: “One of the best managers and that’s speaking from experience. Thanks for everything boss and sorry that ultimately, we as players were not good enough this season. I will always cherish the promotion season we shared together. I’ve loved every minute of playing under you and the brilliant memories we share together including the 100 point promotion winning season, they will always stay with me. Thanks for constantly being there for me on and off the pitch over the past 2 years, I wish you and your family all the very best for what’s next Gaffer.”
Josh Laurent said: “To the best manager I’ve ever played for, I can’t put into words how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and this club. You’ve helped me grow on the pitch as a player and have also helped me grow off the pitch as a man. You put your heart and soul in to this club, the staff and us players and cared for every single one of us under the Burnley badge. Which speaks volumes about the person you are. The memories we created together here will be held on to forever by me and my family and I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you Gaffer.”
Martin Dubravka said: “What a guy! Thank you for bringing me to this great club, for giving me this opportunity, for your trust and belief that I can still do it. I learned a lot from you!!! You remained the same man at the beginning of the season and the same man when things were not going well for us. That is one of the hardest things, RESPECT! I wish you all the best for the future.”
Jaidon Anthony said: “Will never be able to thank you enough! These past two years the trust you have shown in me and the effort you have put in to making us better will be forever appreciated. And of course our second promotion together!”
The heartfelt messages from the players underscore the deep impact Parker had on the team, both on and off the pitch. His leadership and dedication were pivotal in Burnley’s recent successes, including their return to the Premier League. Despite the difficulties faced in the top division, Parker’s influence and the bonds he formed with his players have left a lasting legacy at the club. As Burnley looks to the future, the sentiments shared by the players reflect a profound respect and gratitude for Parker’s contributions during his tenure.
