PARRY HONOURED WITH DEGREE

Liverpoolfc.tv 28 June 2008

Rick Parry will be rewarded for his services to football on Monday morning when he will receive an honorary degree from the University of Liverpool.

The Reds Chief Executive will take his place alongside the likes of Elvis Costello, and Jose Manuel Barroso - the President of the European Commission - as well as over 4000 students at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall where an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws will be conferred upon him.

 

Parry, who has been at the helm of the club he supported as a boy for over 10 years, is delighted to be receiving recognition from a University that is so close to his heart.

 

He said: "I am very proud to have received such a prestigious honour and am extremely grateful to the University of Liverpool for awarding me the honorary degree,"

 

"Having graduated at Liverpool University in 1976, and in a city that means so much to me, this will be a very special occasion."

Who's Dr. Oarry?

[Archangel]

: I really dont understand why Universities do this and frankly a little bit mystified as to the criteria they use to decide who to give such an accolade to. But, congratulations to the man, his hearts in the right place even if I doubt his head ever was.

 

Still would like to see him moved on though

[Billy Dane]

Good to see that leadership, drive and vision is still recognised and rewarded in today's society.

Services to football?

Services to football?

Apart from anything associated with us, I suspect that's a reference to his 'meisterwerk', the setting up and development of the premier league - now 'the most successful and strongest league in the world'. Twenty years further down the line might reveal whether this is in fact the case or was the beginning of the end as so many believe.

Didn't he get paid enough money for serving football in so uch as it was his job??? Why does he need to be rewarded for it as well. I would have done his job just for the money, he will be wanting a blue Peter badge as well now. It takes the piss.

it's obviously a publicity stunt, but it's s***. I had to sleep, drink & party hard for 3 years to get mine. Sting got an honorary one at the same time as me. What did he do? Feck all

He can hang it on the wall next to his MBE for 'Services to Clowning'.

Not like this forum to miss a chance to bad mouth Parry , thought this thread would have 10 pages by now.

You could say that about anyone who gets honoured for anything.

It would seem he is going to fight it out with Hicks and attempt to stay.

Did Gerrard not get paid for helping us win the CL and receive an OBE/MBE or whatever too?

 

Does that take the piss?
