Bernard Parker has been talking after his Kaizer Chiefs exit, and has opened up about the treatment he received from the supporters during his final days at Naturena.
Parker’s 11 years with Chiefs will come to an end at the end of June following his contract not being renewed by the club.
The former FC Twente forward will forever be remembered by the Khosi Nation as one of the players that gave his all and became the team’s highest top goalscorer in PSL history. It is not clear yet whether the veteran forward will continue playing or he will do something else off the field.
After so many years with the Amakhosi, Parker didn’t have a wonderful ending to the relationship following fans calling for his exit on social media platforms and making comments that forced the 36-year-old to delete all his social media apps because they were too much to take.
Parker went on to say thank you to his football agent Mike Makaab for defending him on social media platforms.
“During the tough times, we went doing so well. I was the one who has been picked on the most, I was the targeted one I would say who’s picked on the most, and the comments I see people would send me the comments and it ended up to a stage where I had to delete my social media apps and I deleted them all. Parker told GagasiFM.
“Also I reached a stage where I don’t wanna read South African websites as well so that I can keep my focus and affect what I can affect, control what I can control, and cut out all the external factors so I cannot be controlled by external factors thanks to my family, my close friends and as well as Makaab as well as my family who’s always defending me, I hear that he’s always defending me and people would share that with me I thank him for that for always standing up for me, the father figure that he has on me”
Makaab mentioned that there is something they busy working on with Bernard Parker but he never revealed it, but he promised that in the next two to three weeks the announcement will be made.
