Very sad news,
A True Wire Legend.

Such awful news. I had the pleasure of watching Parry play throughout the 70s and up to the end of his career in the early 80s, and he was a great scrum-half. He was a gentleman too. When I was a kid I used to get the players' autographs when they arrived at Wilderspool before games, and Parry was always happy to sign and say hello. The term 'club legend' gets over-used, but it applies 100% in the case of Parry Gordon. RIP Parry, and sincere condolences to the family.

Saw Parry play against us many times at the Boulevard,He was the type of loyal player every club needs.He played in the era of proper rugby, not the sanitised version we play now.R.I.P. Parry,you were a good un.

RIP Parry. A true Wire legend!

This is very sad news to hear, my condolances go to his family and friends. Your memory will live on Parry as great sportsmen are never forgotten.

RIP Parry

One of my first memorys of watching the Wire was seeing him play and scamper about the field. A great loss.

God Bless Parry R.I.P

Parry was a superb player for the Wire and will be sadly missed by everybody who had the good fortune to see him play for the club over a 20 year period.

True gentleman and legend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

R.I.P Parry, you will never be forgotten.

Well said Dave, Agree totally. It was a pleasure to see him grace Wilderspool. He was a great player and great man. It was sad that he never got GB honours. Hopefully the club will comission a lasting tribute to this great man.

Terribly sad news. Parry was one of the finest servants Warrington Rugby League have ever had and was a smashing guy. As a kid running on the pitch for autographs and sock ties Parry was one you would always go to as he always obliged with a smile and a chat.
Fabulous player who didn't get the recognition he deserved at international level, probably because there were so many great half backs around at the time.

RIP Parry - a true sportsman and a true gent. My sincere condolences to Parry's family.

condolences to parry's family,a great servant to the club and one of my first wire heroes,rip.

The words 'legend' and 'great ' are thrown around with ease these days to lots of players.

Parry Gordon was a great and a legend to me.

Most of his time with us he was playing behind a beaten pack and I am glad he got the success he deserved in the 70's. A really great player one of my favourites of all time.

Mentioned many times in this thread that he nevr got the international recognition he deserved.

20 years of service

RIP Parry.

Parry was one of the guys that got me watching the Wire way back - a great player and one that will always be a Warrington hero.

RIP Parry and sincere condolences to his family and friends.

me and a few mates had a picture taken with him before we went to wakefield in the 80`s and he travelled on our coach...really down to earth player who never had a bad word about owt that happened on the pitch that day....a great loss.

legend

A great servant who I saw play many times when I first started watching the Wires.

R. I. P.

I hope they have minutes silence for him at the Wire v Wigan friendly to let us all pay our respects.

RIP Parry

A true great

I can only agree with whats been said, a great player, a wire legend and a absolute gentleman.

from a Saints fan.

Sad news, a fine player.....R.I.P.

Sad news. R.I.P

Sometimes when you hear this kind of news you just shake your head and know there's no justice. Great player, huge heart, true gentleman - God bless Parry

I've said on this Site on many occasions that Parry was my boyhood hero and I make no apologies for doing it again. I consider that he was the best Warrington Scrum Half that I've seen, and I include Alan Langer and Andy Gregory in that.
He was a star in the bad days at the end of the sixties and got his rewards in the Murphy era. Seeing him at Wembley in August brought back so many great memories. RIP Parry.

RIP Parry what can be said that hasnt been said or thought already, all my thoughts are with his family and friends, he was a big part of the rugby league family and will be missed by many, but will live on in our thoughts and hearts, great and legend do him justice

Thoughts go out to Parry's family and friends. Played in the team when I first started watching Wire and a true RL great.

RIP
