Herbert Clement Craik (1 April 1881 – 1 July 1965) was a Scottish footballer, who played once for Liverpool as a left half. He also played for Scottish clubs Morton and Hearts.
Craik was from Forfar, Angus, to William Fyfe Craik, a commercial clerk, and Clementina Duff.[1] As a youth he played with a strong junior team in Glasgow, where he was recruited to join Morton. He joined Liverpool in 1903[2] for a £10 signing fee and £4 a week wages, in addition to room and board.[3] before returning to Scotland to join Hearts in 1904.[4] He was described by the Liverpool Evening Express as "a most gentlemanly player".[2]
He emigrated to South Africa, where he died in 1965.[5]
