Blackburn Rovers are devastated to learn of the passing of Tony Parkes.

Everyone at the club sends their deepest heartfelt condolences to Tonyโs daughter Natalie and all his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.
A special tribute will be held to celebrate Tonyโs life and his outstanding contribution to the clubโs history at our final home game of the season against Leicester City on Saturday May 2nd.
