Ben Clarke (born 15 April 1968),[1] is a former England back-row international rugby union player.
Educated at Bishop's Stortford College,[2] Clarke played for Bath Rugby from 1992 to 1996, before joining Richmond F.C.
[3] He returned to Bath in 2000 for a second spell as captain,[4] before knee injuries reduced his appearances and he left the club for a second time, joining Worcester Warriors as player/coach in 2001.
In 1995 Clarke received the first yellow card in the sport, for stamping on the Irish player Simon Geoghegan, however, at the time the card was only shown as a warning and was not used to send players off.
[citation needed] Clarke currently works as a money broker for BGC Partners.
