Peter Clarke

[Strykr]

Still going strong! Scored both goals for Tranmere in their 2-1 win against Crawley yesterday.

Played all 12 of their games this season so far to go with the 53 last season.

I dont follow tranmere, but i imagine they have pacey defenders around him. Unlike us.

Top bloke

According to Soccerbase he is now on 728 League appearances. With James Coppinger and Wes Morgan retiring, I can’t find any other current players with more than 500! If he keeps fit he could make the top 20 of all time League appearances by the end of the season.

Last season he was Tranmere’s players player of the season.

 

[Strykr]

Bollocks, coulsons a better prospect and much younger. ?

Scored against Col Ewe tonight. Hero.

 

[gatecrasher]

Hes been a fabulous pro, he was never blessed with great pace but was always a great reader of a game and determined and that has never stopped. If only we had him instead of Josh the sloth

I was always a big fan of Clarkey, so much so that I had his name on the back of a shirt back in the day. It says a lot that he’s still going strong.

Clarkey is a Shrimper!

Clarkey is a Shrimper!

Perhaps he could come back as player/ manager?

If Wikipedia is to be believed (and checking their reference, there’s a slight discrepancy in the totals!), Peter Clarke is now 13th on the all-time list, one place below another current player, Dean Lewington, with either 764 or 767 league appearances.

Other active players with over 500 league appearance are: Luke Chambers, Kevin Ellison (just released by Newport), Adebayo Akinfenwa, James Milner and Chris Lines (just released by Stevenage).

They should have asked for his advice on how to score a goal against Chelsea…

Experienced defender Peter Clarke joins Walsall

Walsall Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of defender Peter Clarke on a one-year contract.

www.saddlers.co.uk

Signed for Walsall on a one-year deal. Some moans from their fans on Twitter as he's 40 years old now, but clearly none of them looking into a bit deeper and realising that he might be an anomaly, having got into the L2 Team of the Season and been the only outfield player in the division to play every minute of every game. Quite remarkable.

Top man Clarkey

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I remember Marc Antoine Fortune taking the p*ss out of Peter Clarke at the away game at Oldham some years ago by performing tricks in and around their penalty box. We were cruising to a win & Clarkey clearly thought "b*llocks to this" and took down M.A.F. for a free kick.

I thought then that perhaps Clarkey should be considering his future ............ that just shows you what I know!

As said above - top man.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

What are the odds for them to have a poor start at him to be next manager?

Did the same in 20/21 season too. Last league game he missed was in February 2020.

He has had multiple seasons where he has played every game.

There is a reason he has well over 700 games under his belt.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Top bloke, I'd have willingly had him back, but glad to see he can still attract League employment.

And be a very good manager .
