"Joe was on Sky Sports show "Where are they now" series in May 2008 and is now a forklift driver at "Smith Bateson". He said he got a normal day job because he just got so bored being at home all the time. In an interview for the BBC in October 2011 Joey Barton said that Joe Parkinson is his favourite footballer of all time. Parkinson has recently re-surfaced in a coaching role with Wigan Athletic."
