Defender Duberry hails The Beast

Parkin is nicknamed 'the Beast' because of his 6ft 4in frame but Duberry says the former Hull man's skill is often overlooked.Duberry locked horns with Parkin during last weekend's goalless draw between Reading and North End in the Championship.The former Chelsea and Leeds defender said: "Parkin gets a bit of stick but he's a good hold-up man for their team."He wins his fair share and he doesn't get enough credit for the player he is."He plays with a smile on his face and gets on with it. He's a good player."
