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.
anyone remember Colin Clarke? (1963-65)
