The Glasgow-born goalkeeper was a key part of an Aberdeen team in the 1970s and early 1980s - but he maintains an equally impressive legacy on the other side of the planet.
For a certain generation of fans, Bobby Clark is fondly remembered as the record-breaking shot-stopper who helped lay the foundations ahead of glory that would follow.
His remarkable success on the touchline across the Pond would see him coach Stanford University and the University of Notre Dame, two of the most prestigious universities in the world, over a 20-year period.The latter of the universities in particular is regarded as one of the most famous sporting institutions in America for its Notre Dame Fighting Irish athletic teams.
The gloves were hung up in 1983 and it was likely that Clark would take the plunge into coaching but instead of knocking on the doors of chairman at home, he opted to take the road less travelled. Clark coached Dartmouth College in New Hampshire where his oldest son Tommy attended until 1993 and won three Ivy League tournament finals. The following year, Clark would take the reins of the New Zealand national team and Olympic side.
His stellar work would catch the eye of Notre Dame where he would truly make his mark not only in shaping players, but individuals. The conference regular season would be won on five separate occasions between 2004 and 2014.
