It was a great pleasure for Beesotted to catch up with old friend ex-Brentford, Spurs and Falkirk keeper and Norwich goalkeeping coach Tony Parks before Brentford’s big match at Carrow Road.
Tony harked back to his time at Brentford in the late 80s including the infamous FA cup 5th round victory up at Blackburn and 1/4 final match up at Anfield against Liverpool.
He also talks about his time at Falkirk – recalling stories like the Simon Stainrod poo-in-a-shoe tale … and the confusion of Brentford fans coming up to see him and Richard Cadette .. including the B&Q cup final which Falkirk won 3-0
When his mum and dad almost caused a punch up at West Ham defending their son when Spurs played them.
He also recalls his time coaching at Spurs – telling the tale of when Uwe Rosler called him to get a character reference on a goalkeeper he wanted to buy – David Button.
And coming full circle – with Brentford and Norwich in the same league, Parks chats about how he feels Brentford have upped their game and reckons it should be a close game at the weekend.
