BRIAN CLARK 1943-2010
Posted on: Tue 10 Aug 2010
Bristol City Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of former centre-forward Brian Clark who died last night. He was 67.
Brian - the son of former great Don Clark - scored 83 goals in 195 league games after signing professional in March 1960.
A tall, stylish inside-forward, he made his league debut in April 1961, and spent most of his Bristol City career playing alongside club legend John Atyeo, until joining Huddersfield Town in October 1966.
The Bristol-born marksman netted a crucial goal (pictured below) in City's 2-0 win over Oldham in April 1965 which saw the club win promotion to the Second Division under Fred Ford, finishing the season as leading scorer with 24 goals..
He went on to play for Cardiff City - forming a lethal partnership with John Toshack and scoring the winning goal against Real Madrid in a European Cup-Winners Cup quarter-final in 1971. He later had spells with AFC Bournemouth, Millwall and Newport County, before coaching Welsh Premier League sides Maesteg, AFC Cardiff and Bridgend Town.
The club would like to express its sincere condolences to Brian's family and friends.
