Why wouldn’t you want someone who scores goals ?
 

thats what every team and manager surely wants.

Because Parkinson was a cock 

Goal (singular) is what Parky wanted. Perhaps he feared having ALF on the pitch would result in goals (plural).

A good read that.  So frustrating/annoying that a bone fide fans favourite/natural scorer like ALF was under utilised.  Opportunities to have players like that don't come around very often, but sod's law the chance to have him here for a few years coincided with the financial meltdown, and to a lesser extent Parky's criminal mis-use of him.  Grateful for the memories he provided especially v Forest but it could and should have been so much more.

Thought it was more like 35 goals in 50 games for Sydney or you mean us 

Had a look on wiki 

Turns out he's at Mumbai City now 

11 in 20

Edit: no he's not, was just a loan, back at Sydney

A pal in Sydney has met him a couple of times. Loves Sydney ... why wouldn't you ... but says he was heartbroken to leave but was told he would only play a bit part in Parky's plans. It's fair to say he isn't a major fan of him. Believes it's turned out well but could, & would, have given a couple more seasons before moving on.

A natural goalscorer. He would have scored at any level. At the very, very least we could have sold him for a fee.

Parkyball, twat it as far and high as possible whilst converting decent goalscorers into shit wingers with sore necks.

That sums it up nicely.  I'm being idealistic I know, but in another world, around 2017, we could have had ALF and Armstrong up front together as a modern day McGinlay/Walker.
