Hailing from the small town of Kaniva, Victoria, Clarkson played eleven seasons of AFL football – nine for North Melbourne (1987–1995) followed by two for Melbourne (1996–1997).
  • He played 134 games in total, playing either in the midfield or on the half-forward flanks.

  • From 2012 to 2015, Clarkson cemented his place in club history by coaching Hawthorn to four consecutive grand finals.
  • The Hawks emerged victorious in 2013, 2014, and 2015, becoming only the sixth team in league history to win three consecutive premierships.
