Cardiff City Football Club are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Brian Clark, who died on Monday, aged 67.

Brian will forever remain a true Cardiff City icon following his two spells with the Bluebirds, most prolifically between 1967 and 1972. Brian made a total of 240 appearances in all competition for the club, scoring 91 goals.

He also famously scored the winning goal for Cardiff against Real Madrid in the 1971 European Cup Winners Cup quarter-final - one of the club's most famous ever goals.

Brian stayed in close contact with Cardiff City following his retirement from football and was a respected and close friend to many. He often co-commentated on games alongside long-time friend Richard Shepherd and regularly made appearances at Ninian Park and Cardiff City Stadium, much to the delight of the home supporters.

Cardiff City Football Club offer sincere condolences to Brian's family and will miss our long time friend.

Details of his funeral and arrangements are yet to be confirmed.

A full tribute to Brian will be printed in our next league programme v Doncaster Rovers.

 Brian Clark 1943-2010
