T.B.A. Clarke (full name unrecorded) was an English footballer who played as a striker for Sheffield United and represented the Sheffield FA against Glasgow in 1890.[1]

Playing career

Clarke was an amateur player when he signed for Sheffield United mid way through their first season of existence. He played occasionally for the club, possibly contracted on a part-time basis, for just over a year and captained the side on a number of occasions. Although the bulk of his appearances were in friendly fixtures Clarke did appear for the Blades in two FA Cup fixtures and a handful of games in the Midland Counties League.[1]

Moving on to play for Sheffield Club in December 1890 Clarke remained part of Sheffield United, serving as a committee member during the 1891–92 season.[1]

Personal life

Often referred to as 'Mr. Clarke' in match reports, Clarke was reported as being a graduate of Cambridge University.[1]
