Blackburn Rovers Former Players Association

Blackburn Rovers mourn more than a former player, coach, or manager. They mourn a true servant, a symbol of dedication, and a legend whose legacy will never fade. Rest in peace, Tony Parkes from all at @BRFPA

Across generations, he remained a constant presence at Ewood Park, a man whose influence stretched far beyond tactics and team sheets. His contribution helped shape the soul of the club. 4/5

He didn’t chase headlines; he earned respect. His connection with the fans, the players, and the town ran far deeper than results on a pitch — he represented continuity, identity, and heart. Across generations, he remained a constant presence at Ewood Park, 3/5

Whenever the club needed stability, humility, and quiet strength, he was there — not for recognition, but because it was his club. Often called upon in moments of uncertainty, Tony Parkes guided Blackburn with calm authority and deep understanding. 2/5

Tony Parkes wasn’t just part of @Rovers — he was Blackburn Rovers. From pulling on the shirt as a player to dedicating decades behind the scenes as a coach,stepping up time and again as caretaker,Parkes embodied loyalty in a way modern football rarely sees. 1/5 @lancstelegraph

Sad news today as Tony Parkes, a true Blackburn Rovers legend, has passed away. A loyal servant to the club as player,coach and caretaker manager, his dedication and passion will never be forgotten. Thoughts are with his family and all who knew him. 💙🖤 #RIPTonyParkes

We are sending our love to the family and friends of Len Johnrose, on the third anniversary of his passing. #rovers

Remembering our former manager & assistant manager, Ray Harford on what would have been his 80th birthday. Ray’s contribution to our 1992 promotion & 1995 title triumph will never be forgotten.

30 years of great memories, with great lads.

We were delighted to induct our 1995 Premier League winning team in to our Hall of Fame in April. It was a joy to welcome back Ian Pearce, Tim Flowers, Mike Newell, Chris Sutton, Bobby Mimms, Colin Hendry, Jeff Kenna, Mark Atkins, Jason Wilcox, Kevin Gallacher & Alan Wright.

Is it really 30 years since this happened? @kennethdalglish @kevingallacher8 @BraveheartCH @alanshearer @chris_sutton73 @superatko22 May 14 1995 - a day that will never be forgotten. The day our dreams came true. #rovers

@HBerry177 The 94/95 squad was inducted as a squad. That doesn’t mean that individuals from the squad can’t be inducted separately for their efforts for the club in future years.

@HBerry177 Hi Harry. We’ll be sharing some official photos from the evening very soon. We will also be keeping supporters up to date with events on x, Facebook & a new website in the near future. It was wonderful to have so many of the former players back together for a special night.

Has it been announced anywhere who was inducted in the Hall of Fame last week? I'm talking individuals not a blanket squad.

"We were a team feared across the land, and that was because of Jack and the infrastructure and squad he built." @chris_sutton73 and Ian Pearce have every right to celebrate a glorious piece of history.

Three men and a trophy. And what a trophy! 🏆 @kevingallacher8 caught up with @BraveheartCH and Bobby Mimms ahead of this week's 30th anniversary celebration of us winning the Premier League

On behalf of BRFPA we would like to thank everyone for attending our 30th anniversary Dinner, inducting the 1994-95 squad into the Hall of Fame. @Rovers
