John Clark joined Dunfermline in February 1996 as a defender and played for the rest of that promotion season. He joined from Falkirk having been in England with Stoke City but having spent most of his career at Dundee United.
John moved on to have brief spells at Ross County and Ayr United before ending his career with Berwick Rangers.
Having come through Musselburgh Windsor Boys Club, John Clark made his senior debut as a striker during Dundee United`s championship winning 1982-1983 season though he only gained a regular place in the team after converting to a defender.
He went on to make 329 appearances for United but had no luck when it came to trophies, being a runner up three times in the Scottish Cup and once in the League Cup. There was also the 1986-1987 UEFA Cup Final defeat by IFK Goteborg, in which he scored one of his 37 United goals.
In 1994 he was transferred to Stoke City for £150,000, a move that lasted only until Lou Macari became manager a few months later. Falkirk brought John back to Scotland and from there he joined Dunfermline in February 1996 for £75,000.
Despite helping the club to lift the First Division title, he was subjected to a good deal of criticism and played just 22 matches for the Pars, scoring twice.
John retired in 1999 after a couple of seasons at Berwick Rangers, where he also assisted manager Paul Smith. He later coached Gala Fairydean and Whitehall Welfare and was co-tenant of Musselburgh`s Auld Brig Tavern until 2012.
