A sad day for Warrington and rugby league. RIP Parry

Dont know what to say.Just cannot believe it.RIP mate.

rip sad to hear.
he seemed to play at wire for so long ,how many appearences did he make?

543 and only played for Warrington

Just read this... sad sad time.

Simply the finest half back I've seen play in a wire shirt, and the single reason most peolpe round my age picked up a ball in the first place.

pretty sure that Parry was playing in the first game that I started watching Trinity regularly... was also Steve Hesford's debut...

a good measure of a player is how much the oppostition fans wince in anticipation when they get the ball... I always winced in anticipation when Parry had the ball against us...

for what its worth he was opposing Dave Topliss that day...


quite a half back pairing in heaven!

Parry was my first wire hero as a boy ... A true wire legend.
RIP Mr Gordon

I would like to see a lasting tribute to Parry. A trophy or a stand named after him for instance. Any ideas?

Parry Gordon was my first Warrington hero and was a true gentleman.
He will be sadly missed by all those who knew him.
RIP Parry Gordon.

Such a sad loss.
Respect to the man. Always got the opposition fans twitching when he had ball in hand, me included. Baffled as to how he never got the international call.
An RL legend and no mistake.

thanks ,once again rip

RIP Parry
From a Widnes fan. He was always a constant thorn in your games against us for so many years.
A sad loss

RIP Parry, A True Wire Legend!

Hello all,
I am Parry's grandson and I would like to thank you all, on behalf of me and my family for your kind comments, it really is touching to read these, and we all find comfort in seeing just how many people the little man with the big heart reached out to in one way or another.
I am only 17 so I wasn't born when he was playing rugby, but I've heard countless, and in most cases, funny tales of his experiences during his time at Warrington.
I would like to tell you all that he did not suffer, his passing was over in a matter of seconds as he lay at rest in my arms with his family by his side.
Obviously, we are all devastated, and still in a state of shock, infact part of me still thinks he will come in and shout at me for not keeping my room tidy.
I am very greatful for all of your support during this shocking time.
I'm just glad he was able to see the wire win at wembley.
Thanks again,
Daryl and Family x

I guess that that's some comfort to his family + friends.

RIP to a true Wire legend.

RIP

Parry Gordon I thank you the finest half back I've seen play in a wire shirt in forty years.
