Hi Peej,
Believe it or not, I had a dream about Allan Clarke about a week ago.
It's the first time I have ever had a dream about anybody famous. He seemed to be fine, had this redish hair colour that looked really bad, hey they say you dream in B&W well it's not true. I have heard that his albums will be on cd too, I have a couple of his albums and in many ways it's just like the Hollies. Fondest memories of Allan.
Bye for now,
Anthony |

Is it true that Allan has a brother Alan that used to play professional football for Leeds United? |

Allan Clarke, the footballer, played for Leeds United from 1969 to 1978.
He is not related to Allan Clarke of The Hollies.
Our Allan has a brother called Frank.

This is where the confusion may arise, because there was also a Frank Clark who was a professional footballer and then a manager, same era as the other Allan.

That's right. Frank Clark played for Nottingham Forest and in later years became their Manager from 1993-1996.
He too is no relation to our Allan.

I think it would be unlikely too that a parent would call their children the same names. |

Helloooo...Nice little forum you got going here, Rob! And emoticons! What fun!! (ooh, like that one)
Anyways...My point is...Allan's real name is 'arold -- I mean, Harold...So they don't all have the same name...Not like George Foreman...or Jacko's sons...lol...
I was also under the impression that he came from a very large family; more than just a bro...No idea where I heard that...
And I also read on the Yahoo forum that he was living in one of the Carolinas in the US - North or South, I dunno...Beautiful area...on the ocean and warm...

I heard Allan was the youngest of 6 children in fact I think I read it in the first Goldmine article about the Hollies! |

Like Peej, I also read somewhere that Allan was the youngest of 6 children. I also read that he does have 2 brothers called Frank and Alan and that Frank managed The Hollies for a while when they first started out in early 1963.
Bye for now, Susie |

I know it says "one of six children" in the Goldmine article but as far as I am aware, Allan only had one brother Frank, and two sisters, Lillian and Cynthia.

So Allan only has 1 brother and 2 sisters, well by my calculations that makes him one of 4 children not 6 which leaves me to one conclusion, I can't always believe everything I read or hear. Thanks Rob for clarifying this for everyone who thought he had 2 brothers.
Bye for now, Susie
