True Tic Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Clarke is 40 now. I remember him in a game against Charlton, must be 4 seasons ago, his legs had gone then. Great leader though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseowl Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Peter Clarke as part of the club set-up - YES (and I think he should have had the manager's job after Shez) - Peter Clarke as a centre half now - NO - not got the pace or speed of turn anymore. Be interesting to see what transpires. Certainly, a natural leader but we seem to have a stack of backroom staff now don't we? I continue to be baffled.

Lee Sinnott Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I've got to be honest that the thought of signing a 40 year old on loan doesn't excite me too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thompson’s appointment showing value already!! Seriously…if we’d kept him I’m convinced we wouldn’t have been relegated. He’s a born leader……just having him in and around the dressing room should reap dividends. He might be 40 but is as fit as a butcher’s dog and would be a massive inspiration especially to our younger players!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hopefully Clarke coming in to replace Unsworth ? Not seen him play recently, but on the face of it wouldn’t want him in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Just had a quick look on the saddlers forum , first two or three games he did well for them but tailed off and the general feeling is the legs have gone . Think he’d be a good coach though at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Surely can't play him and Hogan in a back three/five so that's a positive at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Branston Pickle Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Worth pointing out he was put in the League 2 team of the year a few months ago. Clearly still got it, and even if he hasn't he's still better than what we've currently got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
