Norman Samson Clarke (born 1 April 1942) is a Northern Irish retired footballer, best remembered for his two spells as an outside left in the Irish League with Ballymena United.[1][2] He also served the club as caretaker manager during the 1966–67 season.[3] Clarke's Ballymena United spells were bisected by four years with Football League club Sunderland, where an anterior cruciate ligament injury ended his full-time career.[4]
