	Scott Parker (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scott Matthew Parker (born October 13, 1980) is an English football player and the current captain of Newcastle United.
		Parker, who had been consistently linked with moves away from Charlton for several years, finally left the Valley on January 30, 2004 to join Chelsea for a fee of £10m, after a protracted and acramonious transfer saga in which Parker is rumoured to have refused to train for Charlton.
		Parker was initially signed as cover for Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard, but played most of his games for Chelsea as a winger.

		But Scott’s football career had yet to take off and he was to remain one of football’s best kept secrets for a few more years yet, making only random appearances in the Addicks first-team.
		Parker was flung straight into the first-team and his spell at Carrow Road seemed to have worked wonders, going on to make a further 20 appearances that year for Charlton and establishing himself in the side.
		Scott never had a chance to cement his place in the centre of midfield for Chelsea and was constantly deployed on the right-wing.

		Parker said he never realised the opportunities that were available to play the sport overseas, but said when he read in a magazine that clubs in Canada were seeking Australian players to bolster their sides he jumped at the chance.
		Parker started his football career with the West Portland Junior Football Club, before moving up through the ranks at the Portland Football Club until he made the switch to Yarraville in the Western Region Football League last season.
		Parker said he expects to play as an onballer changing in the forward pocket, or as the Canadians put it, 'a front rower who runs around a bit'.

		The rebuilt Wembley Stadium was due to open in time for the FA Cup final in May. However, in August 2005, The Football Association reserved the Millennium Stadium as a backup, as there was some doubt whether Wembley would be ready.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| Match Reports \| Blackburn Rovers 2 - 3 Chelsea
		After withstanding a week of petty character assassination Scott Parker needed proof that he was well advised to leave Charlton for the wealthy pastures of Chelsea.
		While Parker endured an uncertain debut against a scuffling Blackburn side, Lampard scored both the first-half goals that set Chelsea on course for their eighth away victory in the Premiership and kept them within four points of Manchester United in second.
		Parker, in the simple world of Charlton supporters, is the one-time idol who has fallen to a money obsession.

		Curbishley thinks Parker's head was turned by Chelsea's millions yet the catalyst, ironically for the manager, turned out to be the day he signed the mercurial talents of Paolo Di Canio last summer.
		Parker says: "He was an enormous influence on me from the moment he walked into the football club.
		Parker, naturally, sees things a little differently, saying: "This is not the death of Charlton and the only way they can do anything about it is to show ambition themselves by going out to spend X amounts of money."

	Scott Parker - Festival Forums
		When Scott Parker signed a new contract (at the start of this season?) it was with a stipulation that if a top three club made an offer then he would be free to go.
		Scott Parker- he's only going for the money (im not saying i blame HIM) Chelsea havent worked hard to get him, the havent brought him up thru their youth system, they havent looked after him...they just offered him more money than Charton could...it really shouldnt be like that.
		footballers have a relatively short career and they have to seek out to do what is best for themselves, so in that view, i can't blame him for going.

	Joe Cole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph John Cole (born November 8, 1981 in Islington, London) is a professional footballer who plays for Chelsea FC of the English Premier League and the England national team.
		He is a right-footed midfielder with an avowed preference for a central position but has enjoyed most success playing as a left or right winger at Chelsea, due to his fine dribbling abilities and ball control.
		Cole refused to move and stayed in Chelsea, but figured irregularly throughout the first half of season 2003-2004 and was reduced to a peripheral figure after Ranieri signed Scott Parker in January 2004.

		In the case of Scott Parker one wonders exactly why he feels it necessary to desert the excellent Charlton for the shores of Chelsea’s massively overcrowded midfield club.
		Parker knows that he is on the fringes of the squad and evidently is prepared to do whatever it takes to force his name over the line and get his ‘seat on the plane’.
		Parker is a fine example of this, having been selected in recent squads but by logical reasoning being at least fifth on his particular chosen ladder.

		It was with some amazement that I read this morning that Scott Parker is set to return to the bosom of his adoring Addicks as soon as the latch comes off the transfer window in January.
		There is no doubting his ability as a footballer, which has been demonstrated by the fact that Charlton's form started sliding like a greased-up emu on an ice rink the moment he left to join the finest club in the world.
		Scott is not on the transfer list, either at his request or Jose's, so draw your own conclusions on that front.

		Many pundits were tipping Parker to break into Eriksson's thinking after the impressive way he began his career on Tyneside following last summer's £6.5m move from Chelsea but instead the England boss opted for one of Parker's predecessors in the Magpies midfield, Jermaine Jenas.
		McClaren was at St James's Park to watch Parker in action in Saturday's 3-3 draw with Villareal and Roeder, who was involved in the national coaching set-up under Glenn Hoddle, expects to see plenty more of the Yorkshireman in the coming months.
		Parker was a virtual ever-present for Alan Curbishley's side but after his transfer to Stamford Bridge in January 2004, he started just 19 games in the following season and a half, three of them in the League Cup.

		Chelsea midfielder Scott Parker, who was recently transferred from Charlton Athletic, was the surprise choice for young player of the year, ahead of his teammate John Terry.
		Parker is not yet a permanent starter in the Chelsea line-up but started both legs of the Uefa Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal, and was a substitute in the semi final first leg against AS Monaco.
		Parker said, "This is very pleasing for me and it rounds off a brilliant season, although there are a couple of things that could still go my way in the summer, such as the Champions League and the European Championship.

		I rate Parker highly as a footballer, not too sure about his brain power though.
		An English football club (or any for that matter) is not like an American football franchise.
