Jackie Parker.
One of Edmonton's legends of sport passed away on November 7, 2006.
I had the honour of meeting Mr. Parker which wasn't really a difficult thing to do in Edmonton as he was known for being accessible and available to fans long after his football career was done.
I met Mr. Parker while working at this man's shortlived bar.I was determined to make Mr. Parker his eponymous drink. You will never get the chance to mix a Shirley Temple for Shirley Temple Black, you'll never meet a real Rocky Mountain BearFucker and you'll probably never meet a guy named Phil Sner.
A "Jackie Parker", by the way, is also known as a Cape Cod. Vodka and Cranberry Juice.
Enjoy a Jackie Parker this week in honour of a well-known and well-loved Edmonton sportsman.
