Ray Clarke was a favourite , hero , a legend for many fans .
He did exactly the same but without a agent promising this and that .
I agree, players are pimped out by their agents and in the modern game a contract is not worth the paper it's written on.
The big difference between Danny and Ray Clarke is, Ray smashed in 20+ goals for us two seasons running and was way too good for Div3, which is why he ended up at Ajax after Sparta Rotterdam. I'm a bit hazy on the timings but I always thought Ray moved in the closed season.
