He was selected to go on the 1920 Great Britain Lions tour of Australasia. Parkin was the Landlord of the Griffin Hotel, Bull Ring, Wakefield circa-1921.〔Wakefield Trinity Committee, 7 Tammy Hall Street, Wakefield (Monday 26 December 1921). ''Wakefield Trinity Gazette''. John Fletcher Printers, Albion Court, Westgate, Wakefield, WF1 1BD. ISBN n/a〕 Parkin played in Wakefield Trinity's 9-8 victory over Batley in the 1924 Yorkshire Cup final during the 1924–25 season at Headingley Stadium, Leeds on Saturday 22 November 1924, and played in the 3-10 defeat by Huddersfield in the 1926 Yorkshire Cup final during the 1926–27 season at Headingley Stadium, Leeds on Wednesday 1 December 1926. Parkin played in Wakefield Trinity's 3-29 defeat by Australia in the tour match at Belle Vue, Wakefield on Saturday 22 October 1921.〔Hoole, Les (2004). ''Wakefield Trinity RLFC - FIFTY GREAT GAMES''. Breedon Books. ISBN 1-85983-429-9〕 Parkin married Frances Akeroyd in 1926 and had six children, Patricia, Nadine, Willie (Bill), Geoff, Neal and Trevor, and 16 grandchildren. Parkin won caps for England while at Wakefield Trinity in 1921 against Wales, Other Nationalities and Australia, in 1922 against Wales, in 1923 against Wales, in 1924 against Other Nationalities, in 1925 against Wales, in 1926 against Wales and Other Nationalities, in 1927 against Wales, in 1928 against Wales (2 matches) and won caps for Great Britain while at Wakefield Trinity in 1920 against Australia (2 matches) and New Zealand (3 matches), in 1921-22 against Australia (2 matches), in 1924 against Australia (3 matches) and New Zealand, in 1926-27 against New Zealand (2 matches), in 1928 against Australia and New Zealand and in 1929 against Australia (2 matches). Parkin was unavailable for the first Test of the 1929/30 Ashes series and the game was lost to the touring Australians. He recovered for the second Test and Great Britain ultimately defended the Ashes. Parkin decided he wanted to leave the Wakefield club in 1930, at the age of thirty-four, and he was put on the transfer list at £100 (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £15,950 in 2013). For some reason, Hull Kingston Rovers couldn't, or wouldn't, find the money. So Parkin paid the fee himself to secure his release. The game's by-laws were adjusted shortly afterwards, so that no player could ever do that again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jonty Parkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
