BRIAN CLARK BIRTHDAY

Bluebirds legend Brian Clark's birthday today

Hope your looking down, Clarky. The Bluebirds done you proud today!

One of the bluebirds true legend's!

Cardiff City legend and my sporting hero only sad thing for me was l Got the opportunity to tell him this one day and bottled it

I did speak to Brian on the way to the ground with my grandson a few years ago. I pointed out to my grandson that Brian was the best forward we have ever had and Brian said I wouldn't go that far, Typical modesty from a legend and a gentleman. RIP great man.

He was a great guy. I first met him in the late 70's, when i worked for British Rail. He had just finished playing for Newport County and was a Sales Rep selling industrial clothing etc with a local firm in Cardiff, He was a true gent,smartly dressed and had time to chat about his footballing days, enjoyed playing for Millwall . But Cardiff City was his true love and especially the Real Madrid game in 1971, when he scored the goal from a header to win 1-0. He said the team was up most of the night celebrating with a few beers. He is missed.

Probably the best striker I have seen at City since I started following the club back in the 60's.
