Paul Clark

[harold robbins]

Anyone remember this Albion legend?. Played in the 1970s under Mullery and was without doubt one of the hardest bastards ever to put on an Albion shirt - made Charlie Oatway look like Wayne Sleep. He was known affectionately as "Killer" and I still remember the "Clark is evil" chant that we now use for Charlie.

I seem to recall that he was either managing or coaching another League team (?could be Leyton Orient) but does anybdy know what hes doing now?.

Paul Clark - didn't he fancy Helen in Big Brother 2?

 

[chips and gravy]

He was at Leyton Orient and Southend as a manager

One of my cult heroes - seem to recall he was a Southend lad.

I don't remember him being called Killer - he was always Tank to the people around me.

 

[harold robbins]

Cadiz - You`re right - I remember the Tank nickname as well but I remember Killer being used frequently - both very apt I`m sure you will agree!

It was 'tank'. I remember a 50/50 ball that he and Joe Jordan went for and it was like a collision between two juggernauts,

Last time I saw him was when he was part of the management team at Orient, about 3 years ago, don't know whether he is still there.

Not only was he as hard as nails but he also scored some spectacular goals. He scored the winner at Brisbane Road in 77/8 with a 40 yard screamer, ran through the Spurs defence at the Goldstone in the same season and scored with another long range gem against Charlton in the following season. He could play in midfield and at the centre of defence. I think he made his debut at White Hart Lane (in front of 49,000) in 1977.

 

[Parson Henry]

Didn't he break a Luton player's leg at the Goldstone? Paul Fuccillo?

 

[m20gull]

Didn't he break a Luton player's leg at the Goldstone? Paul Fuccillo?

Yes he did, with a lunging tackle, nearly knee high, from about 5 yards away, just after he came on, and didn't get booked.

 

[Parson Henry]

Scored a great goal against Spurs at home that season as well.

 

[Kent Seagull]

Didn't he break a Luton player's leg at the Goldstone? Paul Fuccillo?

I remember that, everyone in the ground heard the crack, there was no doubt Lil's leg was broken long before the St John ambulance people got to him.

Remember the chant " Paul Clark breaks legs"?

The Tank is a legend!

I'm glad you confirmed his goal at Orient in'78.I was beginning to think I had imagined it, as no-one else seemed to remember it.

[Uncle C]

Didn't he loose a boot once and score without it, or did I imagine that?
