The Dave Clark Five
Hooray for the England Blind Football Team. They beat Greece 5-1 in what appears to be a bit of a walkover. And are happily anticipating the blind European champions where the prodigious talents of their striker may net them victory. The name of this footballing Wunderkind?
Dave Clark.
WHERE ARE THE DAVE CLARK’S FIVE JOKES ON THE WEB? He got five goals for crying out loud. Not bad for any striker let alone a blind one. The blind football team captain. Who works in a sewage plant in Deptford*.
The campaign for sports personality of the year starts here. Especially when you consider he is also a golfer and runner.
(More on blind football here).

he’s also a poster boy for the fa, promoting their campaign that anyone can play.

I often play 5-a-side on the next pitch to the Watford Deaf team, and whilst deafness is not the same disability as blindness when it comes to playing football, it is amazing to watch them play. They are extremely talented footballers, and have developed a whole system of sign language to alert team mates to different types of situations on the football field - the things we take for granted like “Man On” and “Time”.
If my team played against them, they’d kick our asses.
