Philip John Parkinson (born 1 December 1967) is an English professional football manager and former player who manages League One club Bolton Wanderers.
He is the only manager to take an English fourth-tier league club (League Two's Bradford City) to the final of a major cup competition at Wembley, where they finished runners-up in the League Cup in 2013.
Parkinson, a former Leeds trainee, made his Football League debut in 1988 with Bury, and later joined Reading for £50,000 in July 1992.
He was named player of the season two years in a row (1997–98 and 1998–99) and was also a key member of the 1993–94 Football League Second Division championship-winning team. He captained the team to promotion from the Second Division in 2001–02 and soon after promotion success, Parkinson celebrated his testimonial year with a memorable night at Madejski Stadium, where 20,000 fans watched former Reading teammates such as Shaka Hislop, Michael Gilkes and Jeff Hopkins take on an England XI including the likes of Paul Gascoigne, John Barnes and Chris Waddle. Parkinson's final competitive appearance for Reading was a League Cup defeat against Cambridge United on 10 September 2002.
