Plymouth Argyle, Wolves loan deal is forgotten stop in 90+ goal career
Leon Clarke had so many clubs in his football career, even he has probably forgotten his early stint at Plymouth Argyle.
The forward featured for no fewer than 20 clubs during his playing days, with numerous loans spells sprayed across his CV as he continued to live out of a suitcase across the length and breadth of the country.
From Devon to Derbyshire and London to Lancashire, there were plenty of stops along the striker’s career path, with some proving to be more successful than others.
A five-game stretch at Home Park in 2006 is probably not one he will sit down to tell the grandkids about when the time comes, with neither club nor player getting the best out of the move.
Leon Clarke falls out of favour with Glenn Hoddle at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Months before he made the move to Home Park, Argyle had already unknowingly played a part in Clarke feeling the wrath of everyone at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
With the two sides going head-to-head in an FA Cup tie in January, the striker scored the only goal of the game to send Wolves through to the next round, but celebrated by putting a finger to his lips in front of the home fans [as seen above].
