Gary Parkinson
Gary Parkinson wrote his first match report after attending his first live fixture, on New Year's Day 1985 at the age of nine. The match was rubbish and the report probably was too but it didn't stop him chasing a journalism career which has now lasted for a quarter of a century, including 14 years at FourFourTwo among many other outlets – Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Sun, The Athletic, Metro, Heat, Stuff, Manchester United FC, The Bolton News, When Saturday Comes, What Hi-Fi?, Practical Motorhome, etc and so on. Now freelance, he's available for hire.
