Football careerClarke was born in Nottingham, where he made a name for himself playing for Nottingham District as a wing-half. At 16, he was capped for England in the 1951 youth internationals going on to captain the side twice in the following season.[1] Despite his father's wishes that he should continue his apprenticeship as a motor mechanic, Clarke signed for Southampton as a part-time professional in 1953. He made his debut for the reserve team on 26 December 1955, replacing former England international Bill Ellerington, playing at right-back against Watford.[2] By the start of the 1957–58 season, Clarke was a regular in the reserves and on 19 October 1957 he made his first team debut, becoming the fourth right-back in as many games with first-choice Len Wilkins out with a broken wrist. Despite the "Saints" holding Shrewsbury Town to a 2–2 draw, Clarke was replaced by John Page for the next match.[3] The form of Wilkins and then Ron Davies at right-back restricted Clarke to two further first-team appearances, against Colchester United on 1 May 1958 and at Rochdale on 4 April 1959.[4] He was released in the summer of 1959 into non-league football.[1] Later careerClarke returned to Nottingham to live, taking up employment with the Raleigh Bicycle Company before moving back to Southampton where he worked for the General Post Office.[1] Clarke died in Southampton on 27 April 2010, survived by his wife, Phyllis, and three children.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book| title=In That Number – A post-war chronicle of Southampton FC |last= Holley |first= Duncan |author2=Chalk, Gary | publisher=Hagiology Publishing | year=2003 | isbn=0-9534474-3-X|pages=495–496}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Clarke, Graham}}2. ^{{cite book| title=In That Number |last= |first=| publisher=| isbn= |page=440}} 3. ^{{cite book| title=In That Number |last= |first=| publisher=| isbn= |pages=48, 51}} 4. ^{{cite book| title=In That Number |last= |first=| publisher=| isbn= |pages=54–55}} 5. ^{{cite journal|title=Obituaries|journal=Saints official matchday programme|date=7 August 2010|page=47}} 11 : 1935 births|2010 deaths|Footballers from Nottingham|English footballers|English Football League players|Association football fullbacks|Southampton F.C. players|Heanor Town F.C. players|Ashford United F.C. players|Arnold F.C. players|A.F.C.
