Bill Clarke (Canadian football)

Norman Edwin William Clarke (November 25, 1932 – December 20, 2000) was a Canadian professional football player who played both defensive tackle and offensive tackle for the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 1951 through 1964.

Clarke also was a curler, and won the inaugural Canadian schoolboy championships for Saskatchewan in 1950.

He was awarded the Stack Tibitts Trophy as the Roughriders most valuable Canadian in 1959 and 1961 and was named to the Western Football Conference's All-Star team as a defensive tackle in 1961 and 1963.

The 1963 Riders defence was notable for playing five games without yielding a touchdown.

As an advocate for the Special Olympics and the United Way, he also organised charity curling bonspiels and golf tournaments to raise money for Parkinson's disease research, a disease with which he was afflicted.
