He was the Leeds United striker whose predatory instincts in front of goal earned him the nickname 'Sniffer'.

Allan Clarke's goals helped Don Revie's team become the most successful in the club's history.

These photos, a mix from the YEP archive, Getty, and others published courtesy of Varley Picture Agency, are sure to evoke happy memories for a generation of fans who remember the striker's goals and all-round contribution to the cause.
