None other than Mr Michael Parkinson............. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article620102.ece
Micheal Parkinson has been and still is a GREAT ambassador for the TARN He's a remedy to all those people throughout Britain that look at Barnsley as nothing but a flat cap and whippet town You can just hear them - 'how can such an articulate man come from such a town such as Baarrnnnslleeee' Well done Parky (clap) (clap) (clap)
RE: Micheal Parkinson has been and still is a GREAT ambassador for the TARN your a complete knob head
Agree YN People criticise him for not watching the Reds as they do, but I remember him before the fame and prior to him going out to cover the Congo crisis, sitting in stands like Loftus Road, Griffin Park etc. (as a supporter, not a journalist)
RE: Micheal Parkinson has been and still is a GREAT ambassador for the TARN PMSL'' your a warm bugger nudger, (You can just hear them - 'how can such an articulate man come from such a town such as Baarrnnnslleeee' ) ??????????? .... ....Articulate !
thats a joke if ever I heard one. No one has done more to promote the flat cap & whippet image..... more than parky.</p> try reading some of his earlier books, they are all basedaround that image of tarn</p> </p>
Micheal Parkinson is a disgrace to the town of Barnsley He perpetuates the myths constantly of flat caps and whippets Did you ever read the retro garbage he spouted in the telegraph. Never a good word to say about the town
RE: Agree YN You can just imagine people conversing in dimly lit streets. " He was never the same after the Congo crisis you know...".

Turncoat In the Prem: " Im a barnsley fan me, always have been. Can remember coming darn here with me dad" Interview with Beckham " Ive always been a Man Utd fan and love the brand of football they serve" Never in my life have I seen an interviewer up someone's ar*e like he was with Beckham. That Darren Gough is no better supporting spurs and appearing on tele with a Barnsley top on........ Im afraid he's just a bumbling old fool who happens gto et the stars when they have something to publicise on prime time tele and dont want to be asked any tough questions.
RE: Micheal Parkinson is a disgrace to the town of Barnsley Well said Acton. I think we should all turn up at his pub and tell him . It is near me . Freya
RE: ITS FOOOKING TYPICAL OF TARN FOLK............they HATE to see someone doing well Keep yer hair on Nudger !- or we have to put you in goal as someone suggested yesterday ! Most of us love it when someone from Barnsley does great things , especially when they promote the town. whether MP ever has . I admire wha the has achieved personally . I believe he could have done loads more to give something back to his roots and I don't mean money . Just my opinion . Freya
