Brian Parkinson is a retired English professional goalkeeper who played five seasons in the American Soccer League.
Parkinson began his football career with Everton F.C., where he earned the backup goalkeeper job for a brief spell at the age of 18. In 1976, he moved to the Los Angeles Skyhawks where he had the lowest goals against average (0.78) among American Soccer League goalkeepeers for the league champions. His exploits led to him being nicknamed "Superstop." [1] He followed that in 1977 when he had the second lowest goals against average among ASL keepers.[2] In 1980, he spent one season with the Miami Americans.
