Thomas Clarke (born 6 March 1989 in Sussex) is an English footballer who currently plays for Wimborne Town in the Southern League. He signed professional terms with Yeovil Town in 2006 having learnt his trade in the youth set up of Okeford United of Okeford Fitzpaine in north Dorset. Clarke made his debut against Gillingham on 5 May 2007. In 2008 he joined Dorchester Town of the Conference South, having been released by Yeovil - despite signing a new six month contract in July 2007. At the start of the 2008/09 season, he signed with Eastleigh but moved to another Conference South team, Bognor Regis Town in September 2008. He re-joined Dorchester in January 2009.
In July 2009 Clarke was on trial with Weymouth for their pre-season games.[citation needed] He subsequently played for North Ferriby United and is currently at Pickering Town.
Known affectionately amongst friends as 'Queveral dip-Clarke' he has begun to find form for new club Pickering Town whilst studying hard at the University of York. Finally settling down with new girlfriend Janet Hurran, he has dreams of entering fatherhood in the immediate future, vowing to teach his children "everything he knows about women".
One notable academic achievement was his recent discovery of the Queveral Formula, a mathematical metric denoting the exponential rate of growth amongst students. The formula roughly equates to;
Q = ((S-1)x S[S^4])/S, where S = several and Q = queveral.[citation needed]
Theoretical applications for this formula can be directly translated to the number of sexual partners he has personally mounted (~6).
