I'm pretty sure that was his debut. It ended 0-0 but he rattled the crossbar from 25 yards. It was still rattling at the final whistle!! Hardest I've seen in the stripes.

I977 - I remember it well as it was my 21st birthday party that night. And, yes, I think it was his debut.

Clark was tough as nails but could play a bit: he scored a cracking goal against Orient about a month after the Spurs game.

Ian Goodwin....was the original 'tank' I think.Paul Clark,Nobby Horton,Dave Turner,Jimmy Case.
How about Stewart Henderson?Not a dirty player ,but tough with thighs like tree trunks!Sir Norman could also dish it out alongside Dave Turner!
Oh yes,up front.....Alex Dawson.

Paul Clarke makes El Abd look like Paul Brooker. Hans Kraay is up there as well.

The Black Prince, Alex Dawson, if he looked at you, you would shit yourself.

:lolol: Totally agree. I remember one Bank Holiday we played Reading ( i think ) in front of the usual 30,000 ish crowd, when he headed the ball (and keeper attached to it) into the back of the net .
Never heard so many people laughing at one time !!
He looked like a bare knuckle boxer ....centre halves must have had a horrid time against him !

according to some ex players who I have spoken to Paul Kitson was very hard indeed came from a travellers family and could really bang.Legend has it whilst at WHU Julian Dicks absolutely shat himself as Kitson went about him on training ground .

I remember walking away from that game rubbing my hands waiting for the first home game he played built like the preverbial brick s**thouse and also a very handy player and I'm sure that shirt he wore on that day was 6 sizes to small
