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....
9. Liam Coyle
Liam Coyle (Striker - Derry City): It has all been said before about Liam but he had unbelievable natural ability. I used to go and watch him and tried to learn from him, before then ending up playing with him.
10. Mark Farren
Mark Farren (Striker - Derry City): Farnzo was one of best guys I have met in the game. Desire and attitude was top drawer in how he led his life and he deserved to be Derry City's all time top goalscorer. Unbelievable striker who always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
11. Patrick McEleney
Patrick McEleney (Striker - Derry City): I first seen Patrick when he was 17 when we were at Derry. He had scary ability with both feet, he also had pace and power and could play a defence splitting pass.
12. Owen Morrison
Owen Morrison (Substitute - Sligo Rovers): Owen was as natural of a footballer as you will see. He had serious ability and you could see why he played across the water for so long.
