Career
He is perhaps best known for his spell as number 1 at Huddersfield Town where his tendency to make mistakes led to his nickname "Coco". Town fans at Leeds Road savoured the heart-in-mouth adrenalin rush whenever opponents centred the ball from the wing. The nickname was chanted (and acknowledged) with great affection and humour.
The match marked the first ever occasion that Welsh club would progress in the Union of European Football Associations Champions League.
Clarke also played in goal against Football Club Porto in the next round, helping Barry to a second leg victory that has become footballing folklore in South Wales. Clarke went into coaching at Halesowen Town before joining Hinckley AFC in May 2014 as a goalkeeper coach.
