Italia 90, two Premier Leagues, the FA Cup and a special place in the hearts of fans right across West London, Paul Parker is a true trailblazer.

Occupying a unique position as the momentum that would revolutionise the English game started to gather, both in terms of culture and football, the defender was there as the foundations of the Premier League, and more, were formed.

On the pitch, after initially being dismissed as too small, Parker helped to redefine defending both at the centre back and out wide. In the middle, he brought a creative, ball-playing assurance to the position, while on the wing he paved the way for the attacking fullback with his blistering pace and willingness to mix offensive play with his defensive responsibilities.

Joining the George IV to talk about his West London glory days, England heroics, Premier League triumphs, the foundation of the modern game and his recent book Tackling The Game, Paul will share his stories, unique perspective and thoughts on football in a live onstage interview.
