Allan Clark Biography

Allan Clark is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on April 5, 1942 in Borough of Stafford, England, United Kingdom.

Harold Allan Clarke and his childhood friend, Graham Nash, began singing together in Manchester while still at school. They formed The Hollies in December 1962 with Vic Steele (lead guitar) and Eric Haydock (bass guitar). In April 1963, they added Tony Hicks (replacing Steele on lead guitar) and Bobby Elliott (replacing Don Rathbone on drums). In 1966, Bernie Calvert replaced Haydock as bass guitarist. Clarke was The Hollies’ original lead singer, but also played occasional guitar and harmonica. In the UK, they enjoyed 30 chart singles, plus two further chart entries with re-releases, 17 of which made the Top 10, with two – “I’m Alive” (1965) and “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” (1988 re-issue) – reaching No. 1.

Clarke married Jennifer Bowstead on 24 March 1964 in Coventry. They have three children – Timothy (b. 1966), Toby (b. 1969) and Piper (b. 1972). The Hollies’ song title “Jennifer Eccles” was a combination of the names of Clarke’s wife and Graham Nash’s then-wife, Rose Eccles.

However, The Hollies toured with Nash’s replacement, Sylvester, who assumed the lead vocal on performance of the single instead of Clarke.
