"Without wanting to sound like I’m having a swipe at anybody, I just think we're living and playing football in a time where it's all about quick fixes and instant success," said Baxter, according to KickOff.

Baxter added that there are people who have been criticising Parker for a long time and he's glad that he's been able to prove them wrong. The coach is glad that the other players can look up to Parker as an example.

"He got the goals that won us the three points and who is an absolute glowing example of the sort of players that we want to produce in South Africa," said Baxter, IOL reports.
"He’s hardworking, humble, a good team player and responsible in society and for that reason, and that reason alone, Parker is worth a place in Kaizer Chiefs," he added.
