Philip Ian Clarkson (born November 13, 1968 in Hambleton, Lancashire) is an English former professional footballer.
After a trial with Norwich City,[1] Clarkson began his career in 1990 with non-league Fleetwood Town, with whom he spent one year before beginning his professional career with Dario Gradi's Crewe Alexandra. He remained at Gresty Road for five years, clocking up almost a century of league appearances, before joining Scunthorpe United in 1996, where he had been on loan the previous season.
In February 1997, he was signed by Nigel Worthington at Blackpool, and he was club's top scorer the following season. He remained at Bloomfield Road for five years, winning promotion with the Seasiders under Steve McMahon in the 2000-01 Division Three play-offs.
After a short loan stint at Bury in 2002, Clarkson joined Halifax Town.
Clarkson joined Lancaster City in the summer of 2003 and finished his career with them, retiring on March 10, 2004. He is now a postman in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire.[2]
