*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Stuart Parker (born 16 February 1954 in Preston) is an English former professional footballer and a current English non-league football manager. He is currently manager of A.F.C. Blackpool.
Playing career
Parker began his career with Blackpool in 1972, making his debut under Bob Stokoe as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Orient at Bloomfield Road on 16 September. He made two more appearances, both starts, during the remainder of the 1972–73 season.[1]
He sat out the entirety of the domestic season of 1973–74,[2] but appeared for the club in the "Caligaris" International (under-21) Tournament in northern Italy during the summer. He scored two goals in the final, against Napoli, as Blackpool became the first English club to win the tournament.[3]
Parker made thirteen league appearances (eight starts, five substitute) in 1974–75. He scored his first goal for the club on 24 September, in a 4–0 home victory over Cardiff City. He scored his only other goal for the Tangerines in the very next game, four days later, a 3–1 win at Bristol Rovers. His final appearance for the club occurred in a 4–0 defeat at Manchester United in the final game of the season, on 26 April.[4]
Parker signed for Drogheda United in January 1984 and on his debut won the only trophy in his career.[5]
