Clive joined the club’s board in August 1986 and also served as company secretary.

His book, co-written with Dave Thomas and including a foreword by Sean Dyche, tells of his 35-year association with the club, many of them as a director. From the dark days of fourth division football to the glorious moments at Old Trafford and Anfield, Clive has seen it all from a unique vantage point behind the scenes.
