The front man, who now is a coach with Maiden City Soccer Academy, won the Irish League top division in memorable fashion in 2005 as Glentoran pipped old rivals Linfield to the secure the Gibson Cup.
Parkhouse, who won a host of other honours throughout the rest of his career, goes for a attacking 4-3-3 formation, so here's his best 11 players he played with and the reasons why....
5. Paddy McCarthy
Paddy McCarthy (Centre-Back - Manchester City): Me and Paddy, were good mates at Man City. He was an aggressive defender who led by example and had a great career across the water in England playing for a host of top clubs, such as Leicester City and Crystal Palace to name but two.
6. Paul Hegarty
Paul Hegarty (Defensive Midfielder - Institute): Hegs was a driving force in midfield, he would kick his granny to win. Underrated player who was very good on the ball and he is as honest as the day is long.
7. Richie Ryan
Richie Ryan (Centre Midifelder - Sligo Rovers): Wonderful footballer who made the game look so easy. I played with Richie at Sligo but injuries limited both our game time. Great football brain and passer.
8. Tony Shields
Tony Shields (Centre Midfielder - Finn Harps): Similar to Richie Ryan, he also had a brilliant engine and Tony was a clever player with a lot of ability.
