PICS! Parker And His Wife Enjoy Beach Life On Holiday

Bernard Parker and his wife Wendy Parker are currently enjoying each other’s company on holiday as it is the off-season. Perhaps, Parker is taking his time to cool down his mind after he was released by Kaizer Chiefs as a player.

The couple got married in 2012 and they have two grown sons with his wife. Wendy is no stranger to the public as Bernard loves showing her off on social media. Parker posted a picture of him and his wife on the beach on social media but didn’t specify where they are.

Amakhosi are understood to be planning to grant Parker a role at Chiefs. His agent Mike Makaab also confirmed that Parker’s future will be decided at Chiefs in the near future. A few years ago, former Bafana Bafana talisman obtained a higher certificate in sports marketing at Boston College.

PARKER’S REACTION TO HIS CHIEFS’ DEPARTURE 

The 36-year-old recently opened up about leaving Kaizer Chiefs and was clear that it was yet to sink in. Speaking to Simtho Dladla and Mike Makaab (his agent) on Gagasi FM Extra Time, he reflected on highs and lows at Chiefs.

“I have fought through many struggles, the Club (Kaizer Chiefs) has given me a huge responsibility of leading the club by being Captain, it’s been a beautiful journey,” he said.

“During the tough times when the team wasn’t doing well, I was the one who was targeted the most, I had to delete my social media accounts so I could focus on myself and my game.

During Gavin Hunt’s time, Parker nearly left Amakhosi but he was given another contract after showing so much effort. With Itumeleng Khune having injuries at the time, he was also given the armband as many within the team believed in him.

“Most of the players in the team believed in me so I felt that I had to reward them by giving my best in training and the matches. The criticism became normal for me, and I used it as motivation.

“I had some good highs at Chiefs, some were prolonged and some were short-lived, which include becoming the clubs all time leading scorer in the PSL Era, and playing in  30 Soweto derbies.

“I wouldn’t say I have accepted it (leaving Chiefs) but football is a business so I understand that sometimes decisions are not based on what you can give but what the club wants, I had the maturity to understand that.
