Grant hails ‘good guy’ Parker

WEST HAM boss Avram Grant believes no English midfielder has played as well as Scott Parker this season and has called upon Fabio Capello to bring the Hammers captain back into the international fold.

Parker, who has won three caps, was part of the provisional 30-man England World Cup squad but failed to make the final cut and has not been involved since.

The 30-year-old put in a typically influential performance at Wolves on Saturday as West Ham came back from a goal down to draw 1-1, and Grant is convinced Parker should be playing for his country again.
