Football careerClarke was born in Leicester and after playing youth football with Leicester Nomads, he signed for Leicester City in February 1936. Although he was included in City's team photograph at the start of the 1936–37 season,[2] Clarke failed to break into the first-team and in the following summer he moved to join Exeter City of the Football League Third Division South. At St James Park, Clarke was back-up to Fred Liddle, making twelve League and two FA Cup appearances, scoring once, before moving along the south coast in July 1938 to join Second Division Southampton. At The Dell, Clarke was again only a reserve team player and it was not until 15 April 1939 that he made his first-team debut, in a 3–0 defeat at Blackburn Rovers. His second and last appearance came in the final fixture of the 1938–39 season, away to Plymouth Argyle.[3] In the summer of 1939, Clarke was offered a free transfer[2] and joined Cheltenham Town in the Southern League but the outbreak of the Second World War brought his professional football career to an end.[2] References1. ^{{cite book |last1= Chalk|first1= Gary|last2= Holley|first2=Duncan|last3= Bull|first3=David|title=All the Saints – A Complete Players' Who's Who of Southampton FC |publisher= Hagiology Publishing |year=2013| isbn=978-0-9926864-0-6|p=43}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Clarke, Bill}}2. ^1 2 {{cite book | title=The Alphabet of the Saints|last= Holley |first= Duncan |author2=Chalk, Gary| publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing | year=1992| isbn=0-9514862-3-3|page=77}} 3. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= Chalk|first= Gary|author2=Holley, Duncan | publisher= Breedon Books| year=1987| isbn= 0-907969-22-4|pages=100–101}} 10 : 1916 births|1986 deaths|Sportspeople from Leicester|English footballers|Association football wingers|English Football League players|Leicester City F.C. players|Exeter City F.C. players|Southampton F.C. players|Cheltenham Town F.C. players |
