Paul Andrew Parker (born 4 April 1964) is an English football manager, former professional footballer and sports television pundit. As a player, he was a full back most notably with Manchester United with whom he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup and the Charity Shield. He also played in the top flight for both Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea, as well having as spells in the Football League with Fulham, Derby County and Sheffield United. He later played non-league football with Heybridge Swifts and Farnborough Town until retiring in 1997. Internationally, Parker earned 19 caps for England and played at the 1990 World Cup. He had spells as a manager from 2001 to 2005 with Chelmsford City and Welling United, later taking up a role as assistant manager at Folkestone Invicta before becoming a television pundit with ESPN and Sky Sports. Early life He attended Sanders Draper School in Hornchurch. Club career Parker started his career with Fulham before joining QPR, where he made his name as a nippy and incisive centre back, even though he lacked the height normally associated with his position. During this period, Parker was sold by QPR to Manchester United for £2 million on 8 August 1991, and he made his debut (now as a specialist right back) against Notts County the same month. Parker's five-year career at Old Trafford began well enough but was eventually blighted frequently by injury and as the club began to dominate the English game under Alex Ferguson, Parker struggled to maintain his fitness. He won a League Cup winners medal in 1992, a Premiership title medal a year later, and another Premiership title medal and the FA Cup a further year on. The last two years though saw Parker's inability to stay fit coupled with the emergence of Gary Neville, who ultimately replaced Parker at right back for both club and country. Parker missed most of the 1994–95 season through injury, and despite regaining his fitness for the 1995–96, he could not displace Neville and was freed at the end of the campaign. Although United won a second double, he did not play in enough Premier League games for a title medal, and did not feature in the FA Cup Final squad. Parker then signed for Derby County, who had just been promoted to the Premier League, but could not win a regular first
