John Clark (born 22 September 1964 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former footballer who played most prominently for Dundee United. He scored for the club in the 1987 UEFA Cup Final.

Career

Starting off as a centre-forward, Clark made his way into Dundee United's first team during the League-winning campaign of 1982-83, but unfortunately didn't make enough appearances to pick up a medal. By 1986-87 Clark was covering for Paul Hegarty at centre-half for a good part of the season, earning a starting role for much of the UEFA Cup run, and scored four goals on the way to the Final, including the decisive header in the Camp Nou and his fantastic strike in the unforgettable Final at Tannadice. Clark became a regular in defence during the late 80s and early 90s but left for Stoke City in 1994, just missing out on a Scottish Cup winner's medal. Clark's time at Stoke was brief and he returned to Scotland with Dunfermline before winding up his senior career with Berwick Rangers. Clark then moved into lower league football with Gala Fairydean where he became player-manager, before becoming manager with Whitehill Welfare in 2004.

During his playing career, Clark won three Scottish Cup runners-up medals and a UEFA Cup runners-up medal.
