Clark made his VFL debut in round 7, 1943 against Melbourne Football Club at Carlton's home ground Princes Park, and played in two premiership teams; the infamous 1945 "Bloodbath" Grand Final against South Melbourne, and the one-point victory against Essendon in 1947 in which he was generally considered Carlton's best player on the ground for his strong defensive and dashing rebound play in the backline.[3][4] Clark won Carlton's best and fairest award in 1951 and promptly retired from VFL football to accept the captain-coach role with Bendigo Football League's Echuca Football Club.[1]
Clark represented Victoria five times.[1]
