He joined Arsenal in May 1939 but his first game with the team was not until almost a year later during World War II, in April 1940 at Southend.

Parr took part in the 1937 Tour of New Zealand, Australia and Ceylon by the England Amateur National Team.

[4][5] A Sergeant in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, Parr was one of three crewmen on board the Lockheed Hudson V serial number AM535 of No.

The three airmen were conducting a training exercise, but overshot the airfield and crashed, killing pilot Parr and the other two on board.
