Club career

Born in Bootle, Merseyside, England, Parkinson began his career at Anfield rising through the youth ranks and breaking into the first team in 1903. He made his debut on 3 October in a 2–1 victory against Small Heath at Muntz Street, scoring after sixteen minutes. That season Parkinson scored six goals in seventeen games, and in the 1904–05 season he scored 21 times in 23 appearances.

Injury hampered Parkinson's career to some extent, including a broken wrist sustained in a match against Woolwich Arsenal in Liverpool's championship-winning season of 1905–06. He played nine times in the campaign, scoring seven goals, though this was not enough appearances to qualify for a medal. Parkinson's most prolific season for the Reds was the 1909-10 campaign, which saw him top the league's goalscoring list with thirty goals in 31 games. Over the following three seasons, Parkinson scored a further 43 times.

The 1913–14 season proved to be Parkinson's final for Liverpool, making only six appearances, his last being a 2–1 defeat at Burden Park against Bolton on 14 February 1914. He moved to Bury in 1914 and retired from the game during World War I to become a newsagent.

Jack was the great grandfather of the current Liverpool FC Operations Director, Andrew Parkinson.

International career

Parkinson won two England caps, the first of which came on 14 March 1910 at Cardiff Arms Park in a 1–0 win against Wales.

gollark: Support for `b` has been added.
gollark: Hold on, that will be patched in v6.12468.
gollark: - All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.
gollark: Best viewed in Internet Explorer 6.00000000000004 running on a Difference Engine emulated under MacOS 7 on a Pentium 3. Features:- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)
