Middlesbrough's Class of '86

Middlesbrough's Class of 86 squad will be turning up in support of former teammate Gary Parkinson.Parky played for his hometown club between 1986-1993.

He played with pride and passion, was successful and loyal and scored several spectacular goal despite being a full back.Since 2010 he has been suffering with a condition called locked in syndrome.

Parky can't walk or talk, he communicates via his eyes and continues to need 24hr care, but he continues to fight.This will be a nostalgic and emotional night.

Our intention is to raise as much as we can for his care.
