Built like a boxer and known for having a cannonball shot, John Clark became a firm favourite with Dundee United fans. Then, in the 86th minute, United won a free-kick. After a goalless first leg at Tannadice, United won 2-0 in West Germany in what McLean described as the club’s greatest European result. Ironically, three months later, United finally got their hands on the Scottish Cup. United won 4-1 but the day belonged to Clark, who was given a huge ovation.
