Danny Clarke

[Guest]

Has been at Wealdstone all pre-season, and has a couple of goals, including one in the 5-0 win over Bishops Stortford on Saturday. What's his previous like? Heard he has a decent enough reputation but can he cut it at Ryman Premier level?

[lovely stuff]

Had one very good season at ETFC.(and a couple of average one's).

 

He's very fit, direct and a bit of a handfull for defenders.He's a bit one dimentional,he like's the long ball over the top to run onto. If he recieves the ball to feet,don't expect him to pass,he will try to take players on to get a shot at goal.Invairiably this results in him losing posession,but occasionally he will break through a defence and score.

 

Ohh finally , Daniel's what's known in the trade as a 'professional sulker' when things are not going well.No one can carry off a 'disintersted strutt' like he can.

 

As to whether he can cut it in the Ryman. No problem.Ryman prem or conference,thats a different matter.I saw all his 33 games for the old EFC in the Ryman prem a few seasons ago,and even though he looked comfortable at that level,he never looked a threat,as he can do at a slightly lower level. (Having said that, the Ryman Prem is knowere near as strong now, as it was 5 years ago.)

I think he may also not be so lucky with hhis disclipinary record in the Ryman league. I felt the ESL ones had rather tended to ignore him latterly.

I think Daniel matured last year and apart from the incident at Ilford he was never at risk of getting booked. Come to that other players weren't passing him the ball but seriously all the best to him. He will certainly score goals.

... never at risk of getting boked

or

scoring wot was it 1 goal in 15 appearances!

What incident was that at Ilford.....?

[bjr]

I don't understand some of the negative comments about Daniel Clarke. He was a very good striker for ETFC and carried his excellent goalscoring record onto Ilford. Yes he can be selfish - he is a striker!!!

 

I would be interested to see his games / goals ratio for his ETFC career - I bet it is pretty impressive. Maybe Jim Cunneen can help?

 

I think we will miss him, but having said that Dean Nyman looks an excellent replacement.

 

Another thing ETFC fans should also remember about Danny - the loyalty he showed to the club in our first season. Leyton offered him far more money than he was on at ETFC at the time but he chose to stay. I remember it well.

 

Good luck to him at his next club - they are lucky to have him.

We all know Daniel did a really good job for us at ETFC, but last Season, for whatever reason, he simply did not perform. I personally will miss him, as I have always had a soft spot for him.

 

I wish him well wherever he ends up. Good Luck Daniel, I'll keep in touch.

only too happy to help bjr...

 

First of all look at DC's career as a whole with ETFC

 

Played 115 games, scored 71 goals at 1/140 mins. 33 assists means a goal or an assist every 95 mins.

 

In his first spell with us...

100 games 68 goals, 1/126 mins. 29 assists - goal and assist ratio 1/88 mins

 

Last season:

15 games - 3 goals, 1/436 mins, 4 assists - goal and assists ratio 1/187 mins

 

Hope this answers everyones questions.

I was just going to write the same thing. Damn, you're quick, Jim.

[Pavagrotti]

Foxy - I wasn't there but he came back to us from you under a cloud I thought?

 

BJR is right he was a good servant to the town - Every good wish to you Daniel.

 

Oh and he likes to be called Daniel not Dan.

[Southport - TOWNER]

Jim are you really sure about those stats???

 

good to see you the other evening

[Jim Cunneen]

yes i am!

 

Sad that I am I keep similar stats on all ETFC players. It is all on the website and will start to be updated after todays match as soon as Neil and I get round to doing it. Probably tomorrow.

 

It was good to see you Phil - and to get mugged by Nicky...

 

Hope to see u soon

So which club has he joined? I just checked the Wealdstone team that played 2 days ago and he didn't feature.

 

Anybody know where Mr Clarke has gone?
