Jon Clarke former rugby league footballer who played as a hooker for Wigan Warriors, London Broncos, Warrington Wolves and Widnes Vikings talks about coping with change.
He represented Great Britain Academy as Captain whilst coming through the junior ranks at Wigan, he played in their 1997 Premiership Final winning side against St Helens. He moved to London Broncos in 2000, but returned north during the 2001 season when Warrington were forced to sign a hooker on loan to solve an injury crisis. Made an instant impact with some courageous performances against top sides to earn a permanent deal at the club.
In June 2007, Clarke was called up to the Great Britain squad for the Test match against France[2]. Warrington fans voted him ‘Greatest Hooker’ in Wire’s history, beating John Thursfield and Mark Roskell into 2nd and 3rd place.

My favourite Jon Clark moment was when he scored a try in the Olympic stadium in Barcelona with a burst of speed that Usain Bolt would have been proud of!
