anyone remember Colin Clarke? (1963-65)

[AndyHam]

I came across this old thread when doing some research into photos I inherited when my dad died.

This is one of a collection taken by the Scottish Daily Express when Colin Clarke signed for Arsenal from Arthurlie.
My dad was manager of Arthurlie at the time. He is pictured here with Billy Wright and young Colin.

Arthurlie are what is known in Scotland as a Junior club. This doesn't mean they are a youth team. The juniors are similar to non league clubs in England. They are professional clubs operating in a league structure below the senior leagues hence the name Juniors. Many of the top Junior clubs are in fact better supported and arguably better teams than many of the clubs in the Scottish 2nd division.

Thanks for posting that mate. I'm so fascinated by old Arsenal. Love to see the old photos and read about the club in years gone by.

If there are any other old Arsenal photos you'd like to post here, please do.

Great picture mate

Hopefully the fella who started this thread gets to see the photo

DB have you read the Arsenal story by Tom Whittaker? It has some great pictures and it is a must read for anyone interested in Arsenal 1919 to 1956
