Ramovic was delighted to see Parker back on the pitch, despite coming on and missing a penalty in the dying minutes of the game.
“Absolutely, I think this should now be the priority for us. We saw what a great inspiration Parker is, unbelievable, fantastic attitude to come back after this horrible injury, to be back at the game it’s just an inspiration for every player, for every person who has this kind of injury,” Ramovic told SuperSport TV after the game.
“That everything is possible. I think not many believed that Parker can be back on the field, it’s just him, me and my staff and the team but he was unbelievable, he worked so hard and we’re absolutely happy that he is back and enjoy football player Bernard Parker.”
