Raymond "Ray" Parlour or simply Ray Parlour spent his career playing for Arsenal, Middlesbrough and Hull City.
During his Arsenal career he was nicknamed "The Romford Pelé"; although the nickname was given with an ironic sense of humour, on account of his solid performance but unglamorous image.
Nonetheless he has been described as an "unsung hero" and praised as a "fans' favourite" for his high-energy performances.
Parlour is most famous for his time at Arsenal, where he played for 14 years. He joined Arsenal as a trainee in 1989, and made his debut for the Gunners against Liverpool on January 29, 1992.
Parlour won the League championship (1998, 2002, 2004), FA Cup (1998, 2002, 2003), League Cup (1993) and the European Cup Winners Cup (1994).
