It’s fair to say that Scott Parker was one hell of a player in his day. The now-Fulham manager put in quite the shift during his days as a senior pro, and none love him more than the West Ham fans who he turned out for four seasons between 2007 and 2011.
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to former Hammer, Scott Parker!

In Parker’s time as a Hammer, the incredible midfield man won the club’s Hammer of the Year award three times in a row, making him just the second West Ham man to achieve the feat behind the legendary Trevor Brooking, as per whufc.com.
Whilst some fans will still have frustration built up from when the midfield man left them to join Tottenham, his time on the pitch in claret and blue speaks for itself, and he certainly shouldn’t be frowned upon as a player, with loads of the Irons still adoring him.
You can see what they’ve had to say about Parker here:

Absolute warrior for us regardless of where he ended up afterwards. If you turn and see this man next to you in the trenches, you’re in luck.

The Irons cannot get enough of Parker, and even him leaving for Spurs isn’t enough to taint his reputation amongst most of them.
