Lofty Loses His Last Battle
A Supporter Base In Mourning At News Of Big Phil
Phil Parkes, one of the Wolves family’s favourite sons, died in New Cross Hospital this morning.
The 79-year-old, already unable to walk after breaking his back in the spring of last year, recently contracted pneumonia.
His condition was subsequently described as a chest infection but he failed to recover.
Knowing where to start paying tribute to this giant of a man and character is difficult but we will try to adequately do so in the next few days and again around the time of his funeral.
