Personal life
In 1936, Clarke became the landlord of The Volunteer Inn pub in Ottery St Mary, which, due to his Exeter City contract stipulating that players were forbidden to be involved in the licensing trade, necessitated his departure from the club.[2] After retiring from football, he ran The King's Arms pub in Seaton and was a club official at Seaton Town.[5]
