He was also a member of The Sun's reporting team on the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
In addition, Parker has worked on major sporting events including the London and Beijing Olympics and football World Cups and European Championships.
Parker also was responsible for a story in The Sun revolving around cricket player Ben Stokes's murdered siblings, which drew strong criticism from the cricketer and public at large.[2] Stokes denounced the article, describing The Sun's actions as "low and despicable".
