He made his debut in 07 and played the comprismise rules in same year. Looked like a star in the making. 2 years later couldnt make the Mayo team and looked to be declaring for his native.

Enter 2014, Tom Parsons makes a comeback. This year he has re-established himself into the top 2 midfielders in country with David Moran.

His shoulder on Ciaran Kilkenny in 1st minute set the tone for game last Sunday that Mayo werent going to lie down. . Mayo player of the year so far??

Unsung hero?
The pundits have been praising him to hell and back the last few months

We'll see what sort of hero he is when he faces David Moran on 20th Sept...Mayo have stacks of 'heros' who made it to the final but they need a few proper heros on AI final day!

Horan dropped him from the panel, didn't he?

Lads lads end of season is the time for such debates. I pray to god we will get the oppurtunity to see Parsons V Moran in the All Ireland on the 20th September to beautiful footballers. The debate can then begin

Must be a seriously tough fella mentally to come back considering his past, great player.

Where was he in the Horan era That's a question best answered by Horan My take Horan didn't like him Played him here and there but never gave him a long run One can wonder what might have happened if he was playing in some of those close games

Decent player but to be considered as a major player in his position he has to start kicking the ball.

33 possessions against Donegal and all hand passes. Not sure what the stats were in the Dublin but I seen him handpass it an awful lot.

If he wants to be recognised as a top midfielder then he needs to take more responsibility on the ball and stop hand passing it to others to do it for him.
