Lineker. The German defenders got in each other's way and Lineker found room to score with a far post shot. The game ended 1–1 and England departed on penalties. Stevens was recalled for the third-place play off match against Italy but Parker came on as a sub and unfortunately conceded the penalty from which Salvatore Schillaci scored the winning goal. However Parker emerged from the tournament as one of England's many successes. However, it did not help him curry favour with Robson's replacement as England coach, Graham Taylor, who chose Arsenal's Lee Dixon several times over the next few months, including all bar one of the qualifiers for Euro 92. Parker, Dixon, Stevens and Rob Jones were all injured for the tournament itself in Sweden, so Taylor had to pick a central defender to play at right back and England were dismissed at the group stage. Parker missed out on almost 18 months of international football but in October 1993 he was called up by Taylor for a vital qualifier for the 1994 World Cup against the Netherlands in Rotterdam. England lost 2–0 and Parker's hope of reaching a second World Cup were gone. When Terry Venables took over as England coach in 1994, he called up Parker for his first game in charge – a 1–0 win over Denmark at Wembley but then looked at other right backs, including Jones, before installing Gary Neville as his first choice the following year. Parker's England career, which had reached such a high four years earlier, was over after just 19 appearances. Managerial and coaching career After retiring from playing, Parker became director of football at Ashford Town, before departing, alongside manager George Wakeling, in January 2000. Later that year, Parker joined Chelmsford City's coaching staff. Following Gary Bellamy's departure to Dover Athletic, he became manager of Chelmsford in June 2001. On 18 August 2001, Parker managed his first game for Chelmsford, resulting in a 1–1 draw away to Bath City. In May 2003, after Parker's relationship with Chelmsford chairman Peter Wright broke down, he left the club. He later managed Welling United and was assistant manager at Folkestone Invicta. In 2009, Parker was named as a coaching consultant and game development officer for Football Federation Northern Territory in Australia.
