Well worth the read, click on all the red highlighted names, goes even deeper. http://www.rokerreport.com/2011/9/6/2406366/lee-clark-sunderland-interview-newcastle Agree with Clarkie, that was a grand team indeed. enjoy.
Comm, it most certainly was a hell of a team, happy days. There are some understatements in life and that twat has the dibs on two of them.. "..From my point of view, it was a very unprofessional incident .................................... the Sunderland AFC fans were quite rightly very unhappy with me." Indeed, I was so unhappy, and continue to be, that I would still like to talk to him about it
Reading between the lines in the article, I would almost certainly say that he had made a pact with his family that he would only play for Sunderland if they were in a different division to the Skunks. I'm pleased that he regrets what he done, because Sunderland fans had taken to the lad in a way that the Skunks never did. And that's how he repaid us... PS...Cheers for this Bill..
You do kind of forget how good he was for us on the pitch still think he's a knob for the T-shirt incident.
Clarky was a very good player for us. Always gave his all and even in a very good team stood out for me. In a way you have to admire his loyalty to Newcastle. He could play for his arch rivals but never against his boyhood team. It's a shame more players don't feel the same, instead choosing to chase the dollar. The tee shirt incident was as he says regrettable, had that happened the other way round however. He'd be a hero on Wear-side.
The guy is a massive tit. I can't believe that Glenn Roeder wheeled him out for the Wear-Tyne derby after he had hardly featured for the mags that season. Quite rightly he got an awful reception when he came on as sub. I think he works on how he comes across in interviews as Huddersfield boss but it doesnt hide the fact that he is thick as pig ****
