Former England Under-21 star Peter Clarke was another of Everton's promising youngsters emerging from the Academy.

A former captain of England's Under-18 side, Peter made the natural progression through the Blues' Academy sides into Andy Holden's reserves and then in season 2000/01 made the step up into the first team.

A string of notable performaces for the Toffees' second string earned him a Premiership debut against Coventry City at Highfield Road on January 20, 2001.

After a string of loan spells at Port Vale, Coventry and Blackpool he was released in May 2004. He joined Blackpool on a permanent basis and was appointed captain for the Seasiders.

Clarke left Bloomfield Road to join Southend United in the summer of 2006 and spent three years with the Shrimps before securing a move back to the north with Huddersfield.
