Bio Extra

Clark's place in our Player's A-Z is a rather tenuous one. On Saturday, 26th March, 1887, Thistle were down to play a friendly against Port Glasgow Athletic at Clune Park, but only 7 Jagsmen were in place and ready to play as kick-off approached. Four reserves from the home side - Brown, Chisholm, Clark & McLaughlin - were hastily re-purposed as Thistle men for the day, thereby ensuring the sporting integrity of an 11 v 11 contest. There was nothing between the teams who both had their share of attacking, but Port scored the winner with a header from a corner in the 2nd half. “The match was only passable” (GT).
