The Allan Clarke Tribute

[sebastiansap2003]

Rooney coundn't lace Clarke's boots.

[spacecowboy7580]

@sebastiansap2003

Rooney can't even lace his OWN boots!

[sebastiansap2003]

@spacecowboy7580 True. LOL.

[TheCrushedRose]

i know his son

[claptonbrucebaker]

Nothing in premiershit in the same league as this ice cool finisher

[darkmossie633]

knew a club doctor of a football club

-in one game Clarke was carried off with a suspected broken leg. The doctor on coming out of treatment room, was asked by a passing opposing player

"Is it broke doc?"

"No, just very badly bruised"

to which the player replied

"Oh, that's a pity".

The doctor asked the player why he should be so cynical, and he replied that Clarke was a very unpopular player in Division 1 at the time-arrogant,

foul-mouthed, niggly fouls-just a nasty piece of work

[darkmossie633]

great player, but mainly hated, and held in very low respect by his fellow professionals

[Kevinasp]

@darkmossie633 How do you know that he was held in very low respect by fellow professionals? Who told you that, and why if so?

[newall7]

allan clarke what class

[guitarmaniscool]

This man was pure class. Elegant. Arrogant. Self centred. Mean - and made goals look like art. Wonderful.

[patrickpatterson]

BELIEVE ME...one of the best! Allan Clarke was a legend and a decent guy...

I played professional sport too - a fast bowler for the West Indies in the late 1980's...we all loved Leeds and respect to my favourite player Sniffer!

[babyshambler]

Who put the ball in the Arsenal net?

Allan Allan Clarke!

[MrGeorgiebest7]

OH MY GOD! DELICIOUS...............

[mickyp1960]

After Jimmy Greaves the best finisher

[bigpad69]

@mickyp1960 - quite correct. They don't make 'm like Sniffer any more.

[clivetemple]

What a team they were.

[DOCTORDROTT]

When he came from Leicester he seemed a bit selfish.But Don moulded into one of the best strikers in Europe.

I was at Wembley in 72 when he scored that great goal.Good player,but took Leeds down in 81 as manager.

[chanterlands]

Why do people put songs over the top of commentary?

[jonnyroutledgeLUFC]

in my opinion the greatest all round striker ever to wear the white shirt

[LUFCpickerzWACCOE75]

better than john charles?? i think not!!

[Raylufc]

super Leeds who put the ball in the Arsenal net Alan Clarke

[staypress]

is he dead

[LUFC1965to1975]

Nope.

[ruddyroddyraddy]

wots the song called

[moosey62]

Cushy. I'm not LUFC, but they had a great team for many years and should've won a lot more trophies than they did. I rather think you never saw AC or that team.

So stop being a fucking moron and saying he wasted his career. He had a great career you nonce.

As for Don Revie, well, again, you know fuck all.

[pablotjob]

An english friend told me that they were a cheat team; Don Revie left the national team to go to United Emirates; I like leeds united but i don't like this way to win matches; They 're in League One now; i hope they'll be back in two years in the premiership.

[pglufc4lyf]

if we were never in the same class as liverpool or man utd how come we pipped liverpool to the league twice and beat man utd in 2 FA Cup semi-finals

[1tyresius]

i disagree cushy1900.

liverpool football club are a bigger disgrace to english football than leeds.

heysel stadium = innocent fans killed by the liverpool scum.

hillsborough= more dead because of liverpool scum.

i suppose you think they are just a load of " scouse scallywags". well i dont. a fucking disgrace to english football.

[lalunit]

I hope u die

[lalunit]

fuck off u old bastard

[pglufc4lyf]

allan clarke wot a legend no one can say owt bad about allan clarke SUPER LEEDS

1972 FA CUP FINAL WAS THE BEST GOAL

[markgregamy]

saw him score classic goal at middlesboro, came 3rd in goal of season, what a goal that was 1975 i think. wish that goal was on utube.

[WhereEaglesDareUK]

Don't like Leeds playing in Red...Super Leeds.

[cheersthen]

Excellent vid. I grew up on our team of the 70s, and aside from "the lash" - "Sniffer" was the god! You do a good vid.

Once Leeds, always Leeds.

MOT

[mikekellerman]

Total legend and my all time hero. Time seemed to stand still when he was in front of goal.

[wethers6]

My Favourite all-time Player. Sniffer was born to score goals.

Still see him at Elland Road on matchdays.

A true legend.

[Daveytom66]

great goals,super sniffer
