That is good news. Such is the ridiculousness of this board I'm surprised Harry hasn't been getting the blame for poor Clarke's accident.
I really hope he makes a speedy recovery and gets himself back on track. Even when he was with us his off-field problems were surfacing, but you know Clarke Carlisle was a good CB brave and dependable. Mind you does anyone remember that game at home to Crewe when rangers were chasing the game and Clarke head butted the Crewe keeper and got himself sent off? Totally out of character.

Cheers BBH, I did have a look to see if this was posted but it was already on page 2 hence my missing it. I'll delete this one in a few minutes.
Wondering along the hard shoulder at 7.30am in the morning? I presume he hadn't been driving as he was banned a couple of days before? Sounds like there's more to this. But as long as he's getting the support he needs now.
What was he doing walking on that road at 7:30 am anyone know? Motor trouble? taxis and mobiles ... all adds to something Dogging?
He must of been desperate to do that. Must be better ways to go. Took a long time to hear the truth about what happened.
