Charles "Charlie" Clark (1881 – after 1910) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Everton, and the Southern League for Plymouth Argyle and Crystal Palace.[1][2] He was a half back.[1]
Life and career
Clark was born in Thorniewood.[2] He began his career with a club of the same name before joining Hamilton Academical.[2] He was signed by Everton in 1901 and made six league appearances over two seasons, in which he scored one goal.[1][3] In 1903, Clark joined Plymouth Argyle and was the club's first choice centre half for the next six years.[2] In his second season with Argyle, he received a Western League winners medal and made 54 appearances in all competitions, scoring in three of them.[2] Described as "absolutely untiring" and "always a dominating factor in a game", Clark was an extremely popular club captain.[2]
He played in excess of 40 matches per season for Argyle until his last.[2] Clark made his final appearance in April 1909, which took his overall tally to 272 in league and cup competition, with nine goals.[2] He left the club later that year and moved to Crystal Palace,[1] where he made 32 appearances in all competitions without scoring.[4][5] Clark retired from playing in 1910.[2]
