Derek Parkin (born 2 January 1948) is an English former football player who made a record number of appearances for Wolverhampton Wanderers (609).
In February 1968, he became at the time the most expensive full-back in Britain when he joined First Division side Wolves for £80,000.
His long service saw him receive a testimonial match in 1979 and become one of the initial inductees into the club's Hall of Fame.
[2] Parkin ended his 15-season spell at Wolves by joining Stoke City on a free transfer in March 1982.
He was called up to the full team in 1971 for a European Championship qualifier in Malta, but did not appear in the match.
