Trevor Clark was a Maori international player who had been a regular at Leeds since coming over to England from New Zealand in 1983. He came to Featherstone to form an effective front row combination with veteran Jeff Grayshon and another Kiwi, Glenn Bell. What a buy Clark turned out to be. Always lively in the loose, his backing-up skills were vital in an expansive Rovers team. He put in a lot of work on defence with his tireless tackling. Quick service from the play-the-ball was also a feature of Trevor’s game, as changes in the laws of rugby league started to make ruck speed ever more important. In many ways therefore, Clark was the prototype of the modern hooker where ball-winning skills from the scrum were becoming less and less important. There were now far fewer scrums, referees became more lenient of scrum offences and the possibility of ever actually winning “one against the head” virtually disappeared. These changes suited Clark’s ball-handling athleticism down to the ground, and his dashes from acting half-back led to numerous breaks.

Over four successful seasons Trevor was first choice hooker, and a career highlight for him at Featherstone was the 1989 Yorkshire Cup final, and in the same week playing (and scoring) against his fellow-countrymen the New Zealand tourists. After racking up 125 games and scoring a very useful 30 tries, Clark’s Featherstone career came to an end. When Rovers were relegated in 1992 he left and linked up with Peter Fox at Bradford (the third different club where they had worked together). Trevor is fondly remembered by Rovers fans as one of our most successful imports, and one of the first of the modern style hookers in the ever-changing game of rugby league. After he finished playing he coached a number of clubs back in his native New Zealand.
