Parker’s 1993-94 Premier League winners medal and his FA Cup winners medal from their 4-0 thumping of Chelsea at Wembley Stadium both went for £16,120.
Parker kept hold of all his England caps, which sold for individual prices up to £3,720.
Auctioneers in Wellingborough, Northants, said: “He’s giving proceeds to family.”
Parker spent four years at QPR before moving to Manchester United in 1991, making 105 appearances for them in five years before his 1996 departure.
He then had short spells with Chelsea, Derby County and Sheffield United before hanging up his boots.
A spokesman for auctioneers Budds said: “The main reason for selling is that he is quite friendly with Viv Anderson and some of the other players who have sold their collections.
“With the market so strong for Manchester United mementos at the moment he wants to maximise their value and give the proceeds to his family.”
