Worked as a gas jockey in East Leeds as 15 year old. Bremner was managing Hull. He stopped for gas at 8.30 on a wicked winter night. chatting asked me where I live. I told him. He asked how I was getting home after shutting shop at 9PM I told him i was taking the bus. It was snowing. "Sod that " he said. "I'll read the paper and take you home. Which he did. What a soul! Great man!

[@seltaeb3302]

Gas? Are you American? We say petrol you say gas. What's going on here? A hoax? So he read the paper whilst driving the car. Hmmm..

[@alanberkeley7282]

He played for Hull he never managed them.

[@idw9159]

sniffer was an amazing goal hunter - left foot right foot balance lethal shot quick composed and surprisingly good header of the ball. i remember he would seem out of game for 75 mins and then strike out of nowhere like a snake. superb

[@davidgoulden5956]

good description. Liverpool fan but I love watching Alan Clarke. So silky.

[@THEKIDCOD2000]

what a great side. what brilliant players, great commentators to. sniffer was deadly. and I'm a hammer.

[@maviscoils9672]

My dream team... sniffer Clark a joy to watch he was always there to pop them in. ♥️

[@mikeonfreeserve2926]

The diving header against Arsenal just shows killer instinct. A class, class player.

[@robharding5345]

That goal is iconic ! I watched it as a 14 yr old, and It blew me away, What a team,and what a goalscorer !

[@davidgoulden5956]

The truth.

[@brianmcgee5789]

Clarke one nil still brings a tear David Coleman 🙏

[@happy_camper]

Instinctive finisher and always well-positioned. Right foot, left foot, head.. Didn't matter!

[@matthewnapthali8100]

We need a goal scorer like him today, amazing!!! LeedsLeedsLeeds!!!

[@charliewest1221]

Get Bamford to study these video clips.

[@normanby100]

Sniffer was the last piece of the jigsaw and the one element Revie's Leeds had been missing up until then - a prolific goalscorer.

[@robharding4028]

Sniffer Carke's diving header against Arsenal is imprinted on my brain.

[@horse69outside]

1965-75..... a skillful Leeds side ruled the roost when football was a much rougher game.

[@barblessable]

Either foot or headers on rough pitches, great player.

[@carlosanguineti956]

Allan Clarke was my idol in my youth.

[@bernardjay379]

An assassin, Alan Clarke was calmness personified in the penalty area he never seemed hurried when putting the ball in the net. No wonder they called him sniffer he sniffed out chances from nothing.

[@LG-kl3co]

Paul Madeley was so important, never seemed so at the time though, classic unsung hero !

[@nicholasdavies8795]

L G Paul Madeley was a utility player , basically he could be put in any position on the field and fulfill it. Thanks for recognising his skill , it's not often he's mentioned.

[@gobuddygo5801]

The most under rated striker in football history right foot, left foot, head took the stick from the defenders of the day but could give it back Oh Allan Allan Allan, Allan Allan Allan Allan Allan Clark !!!!!!!!!!

[@stephenoldfield7124]

I think he was highly rated. Just not with the FA who dodn't like Leeds nor probably Clarke's individuality. One of the greatest finishers in the history of British football.

[@TheDude1978]

The Sniffer just knew how to find the open space, and simply knew how to put the ball in the back of the net. Today's Leeds could learn a thing or two from watching this!

[@qwazy1965]

we need an Allan Clarke today. Leeds united till i die.

[@mick6370]

Can never understand why Ramsey never picked Sniffer and Jones to Lead England's attack together.

[@celiaearley6378]

it makes you realise how giles and bremner were almost balletic when you watch their skill they were both world class players as was eddie gray

[@polygamous1]

1970 wold cup Mexico what did the papers say about Leeds? the MAGNIFICENT 7, CAUSE 7 LEEDS PLAYERS WHERE IN THE ENGLAND SQUAD n the others where Scottish Irish Welsh internationals, for me by far the Best club side in England of all times thank you ALL you will Always be the Magnificent best in my heart

[@kyloramon4970]

Sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me!

@Kylo Ramon Instablaster ;)

[@michaelpower4372]

And they took the right handers but gave them back. There'll never be a team like them again./Gary SPk/ Harvey,/Stewart, Reaney, Hunter, Charlton, Cooper, Meadley, Cherry, Johansen, Bates, Giles, Bremner, Gray, Yorath, Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, And the one and only MR. DON REVIE. Plus all the couches and back room staff and grounds man at the time greatest team and manager and all staff ever assembled. By LEEDS UTD.👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@richn2714]

My footballing hero was always sniffer Clarke number 8 playing footie at school ❤

[@susanyork5089]

Loved Sniffer

[@Lord_Hillcrest01]

Bre....Clarke . David Coleman brilliant.

[@johnsmith-nk1tp]

wow that was a great team to a man. Hell of a striker ..would cost a fortune today.

[@hejla4524]

To a man...even the subs such as Bates, Yorath and Hibbitt were quality players.

[@stevemartin7798]

don't think he got enough credit he was pure class.

[@davidgoulden5956]

You're right. I love watching him - and I'm a Liverpool fan.

[@nicholasdavies8795]

"Sniffer " Clarke .... an icon of Leeds United ! Let him in and 99% of the time he would punish ! UP THE LEEDS !

[@robertsteveson3497]

Legend ! Could today's players perform on those mud bath's. ?

[@unitedasleeds]

Different gravy

[@Fishytog1]

Not a chance . Alan Clarke was exceptional.

[@teterouge1472]

Sniffer.... C'mon Paddy, you got some boots to fill, come to think of it, C'mon boys, be Lorimer, be Charlton, be Grey, be them all...... C'mon...

[@raygrange7312]

Muddy fields and tough men. Great days of football.

[@charliewest1221]

Today's prima donnas wouldn't survive.

[@horse69outside]

Clarke..... one nil.

[@richardbranton7396]

clarke totally clinical cold assassin.only 19 caps but 10 goals.

[@mikeayres2]

Richard Branton check out his penalty against Poland I the World Cup shear class

[@user-gh2tv9tr3j]

THE BEST

[@samsouth7323]

Nice vid great player

[@celticwarrior1365]

Is it my imagination or did Clarke have extraordinary long arms when celebrating a goal? He was surely taller than the 6 foot that Wikipedia have him at!

[@Lord_Hillcrest01]

Bre - Clarke . Love David Coleman

[@scottfraser7118]

Loved That Hello Leeds x

[@robharding5345]

Sniffer Clarke has to be Leeds utd all time greatest forward, He made it look so easy, and as a striker myself, I can say, I didn't have his knack,

[@esseel7896]

The best team ever.

[@paulbarrett22]

is there footage anywhere of the 1972 fa cup match v liverpool ? it was on a weekday afternoon kick off my dad took me but we couldnt get in as it was sold out clarke got 2 goals ,i remember not knowing who had scored when we heard the roar from the crowd until we got home and put the radio on should have known really 🤣what a player sniffer was

[@winsfordtown]

ITV broadcast the game. I've only seen the Allan Clarke's goal once (about 20 years ago). I can only think Yorkshire TV wasn't the main broadcaster because they were never included them on their 180 goals VHS compilation.

[@seanreillyireland]

Go on, Edward IV!!!

[@AndyMartin401]

Brilliant.Where’s part 2.

[@philipirvine9515]

Can anyone remember allans goals against burnley 1971 i think he scored 4,i can't find footage anywhere.

[@TCDL11]

so where's part 2 of Sniffer Clarke's goal collection?

[@jamescorlett5272]

How it was that this " ice cold executioner only

[@EndtimeElijah]

You wouldn`t put cows on those pitches !!!

[@victorpearson1418]

Was it not Bill Shankly who rated Sniffer the best 1 on 1 finisher in the game ? If not , he should have .

[@mick6370]

England's best finisher from 69-75 for me and Leeds best ever striker my first and best hero.

[@martynhanson]

Yeah, goal's pay the rent alright

[@matthewnapthali8100]

Leeds GOAT,until he wore red,wot a team though!!!

[@infrasleep]

Not a single "spectacular" goal (well, OK, the FA Cup header), just 170 odd stuck away from around the six yard box ! Can't think of any striker like that now, probably because it's not as easy as Clarke made it look. Sniffer was an apt name for him.

[@celticwarrior1365]

How come this silky smooth operator and goal poacher never received the accolades he deserved including more England caps than he got?

[@SMSJSC]

According to Clarke himself, it was because Don Revie was keener on keeping him fit for Leeds. This wouldn't wash with Bremner, though; Billy once said to the Don, 'Don't ever stop me playing for my country'. I personally think Sniffer should have got 50 caps!

[@andrewcorlett4795]

@@SMSJSC Is that so

[@paulbarrett22]

@@SMSJSC no doubt Ramsay had the same attitude to leeds as the london media that Leeds players werent worthy

[@SMSJSC]

@@andrewcorlett4795 "Is that so". What sort of a response is that? Do you have a contribution to make to the debate or not?

[@SMSJSC]

@@paulbarrett22 I'm not sure he did. Ramsay wanted the best players to fit within his overall tactics and strategy. Players from the "Leeds machine" (as Clough once disparagingly put it) would have fitted in better than the mavericks that Ramsay tinkered with but had no real long-term plans for

[@seltaeb3302]

Clarke was made for Leeds United & vice versa. Mick Jones is the forgotten Leeds United player. He scored many goals & was just a run & kick merchant but didn't have the persona of the other players. It's a odd thing really & he deserves a plaudit.
