Who is Tim Clarke?

Timothy Joseph "Tim" Clarke is an English former footballer.

He is perhaps best known for his spell as number 1 at Huddersfield Town where his tendency to make mistakes led to his nickname 'Coco'. Town fans at Leeds Road savoured the heart-in-mouth adrenalin rush whenever opponents centred the ball from the wing; the nickname was chanted with great affection and humour.

One of Clarke's more notable achievements came in 2001, when he was a part of the Barry Town side that won in Azerbaijan. The match marked the first ever occasion that Welsh club would progress in the UEFA Champions League. Clarke also played in goal against FC Porto in the next round, helping Barry to a second leg victory that has become footballing folklore in South Wales.

Tim is now a coach at Halesowen Town.
