Parkin: I'll never shake Beast tag

The striker took his goals tally to 12 for the season with a brace in last weekend's 3-0 win over Cardiff to continue his rich vein of form.He showed delightful footwork to score his second and silence the critics who mock him for carrying too much weight.But Parkin, nicknamed The Beast, said: "I've played 300 games so if people's minds aren't changed now then they probably won't ever be."But I'm not bothered at all what people say about me to be honest."I like to think I've got a bit about me but with my size people are going to think I'm a big battering ram. When people see me play they know that's not the case though."
