Clarke said
in the Sunday Mirror: "I remember
scoring that goal, and the Queen presenting me with my
medal, like it was yesterday. It was a very tight game
but over the 90 minutes we deserved it. Wembley in
those days was a beautiful surface to play on and I
always enjoyed my games there.
"I've
watched every home match this season and, before Eddie
took over, there were a lot of players who weren't
playing for that famous white shirt.
"But
they were picking up a lot of money. There's a lot of
ordinary, average players in the Premiership who are
multi-millionaires.
"Peter
Reid brought in all these loan players. But that
wasn't Reidy's fault, the club were, and still are,
skint.
"I'd
say the only thing that's in Leeds' favour at the
moment is that the Premiership is a poor league.
You've got 15 or 16 clubs all playing to stay up
really.
"I
thought Eddie should have been made manager after
David O'Leary was sacked but instead they gave it to
Terry Venables, a southerner with no feeling for Leeds
United.
"And
what happens? He's sacked after five or six months and
we have to pay him £2m, which is absolutely
unforgiveable.
"I
think he was blinding the players with science. The
players didn't seem to know what their jobs were.
Terry tried to change the pattern of their play but
they hadn't a clue what he was talking about."
