† Appearances (Goals).Nobby Clark is a former Scottish professional footballer who played for Partick Thistle and then served Queen of the South as both player and manager.
With Partick Thistle, Clark scored a single goal in a 1-1 draw against Rangers. He played in the club's 1972 UEFA Cup campaign.[1]
As the defensive cornerstone from 1975 until 1984, Clark made 276 league appearances and scored 6 goals for Queens (340 first team appearances in all). Clark is the only person to gain promotion with Queens as a player and then go on to repeat the feat as Queens manager.[1] Jimmy Robertson was later interviewed by Queens and named Clark as being one of the best players that he played alongside at Palmerston Park.[2]
Clark went on to be the manager of Queens when he stopped playing at the end of the 1983-84 season for two years. It was during this time that Clark signed Tommy Bryce for the Dumfries club. [3]
Clark left Queens to manage Stranraer at the start of the 1986-87 season. He was in charge at Stair Park until November 1987, when he was replaced as manager by Alex "Sanny" McAnespie. [4] [5]
