Brief profile of Frank Clarke by Dr.A.K.Hignell

Player:

Frank Clarke was a lively right-arm seam bowler who played for Glamorgan between 1956 and 1960. His finest moment with the ball came at Lord`s in 1959 when he took a career-best 5-66.

Clarke had played with success for St.Fagan`s, Neath and Maesteg, but his county career was interrupted initially by National Service, and then a series of niggling injuries, which eventually forced him into retirement at the end of the 1960 season.
