"Former Manchester United defender says Corkman 'could start a row in a telephone box' during their playing days"
"About 10 years after winning the inaugural Premier League title, Paul Parker was approached by a memorabilia collector."
"The man was after the miniature version of the trophy that, instead of an old school medal, each of the winning Manchester United squad had received that season. Parker was not interested in selling."
About ten years after winning the inaugural Premier League title, Paul Parker was approached by a memorabilia collector seeking the miniature version of the trophy that had replaced an old-style medal. That miniature had been presented to each member of the victorious Manchester United squad for that season. Parker was not interested in selling the miniature trophy. A Corkman member of that squad was characterised as someone who 'could start a row in a telephone box' during their playing days. The exchange underscores the lasting value attached to the title mementos and recalls a volatile team-mate from the championship season.
