A Birmingham City fan, though they are testing his fanaticism recently, Jon has written two books in the last year. Hugging Strangers is a memoir of his Blues support, from the 1960s to the bleak present day, which act as a case study for football fandom, both the ‘frequent lows and occasional highs’.

Project Restart was written over spring and summer 2020 to chronicle the efforts to get football going again after lockdown. Find it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Project-Restart-Parks-Football-Lockdown/dp/1785318004/
