Andy Clarke has scored 301 goals in his senior football career.
A recent signing for Glantraeth FC, where he has enjoyed success in the past, he is one of the top marksmen in the Bangor area.
Andy, 32, has also played for Y Felinheli, Llanberis, Beaumaris, Bethesda, Arriva Bangor, Maes-y-Bryn and Menai Bridge Tigers.
Here, he chooses his top 5 goals in the third of Grassroots North Wales fun features.
1 Beaumaris Town v Holyhead Town
Favourite goal came against Holyhead Town back when I was playing for Beaumaris. I took on 3 players around the halfway line and ran towards goal, hit the ball from about 35 yards and it went into the top corner!
2 For Beaumaris
One of my very first goals for Beaumaris. Corner came in and was headed out to me on the edge of the box and I curled it into the top corner.
3 Beaumaris Town v Bethel
Another for Beaumaris in my first season for them. Dribbled from my own half past 5 players and slotted past the goalkeeper.
4 Y Felinheli v Barmouth and Dyffryn
Another would be my very first goal in senior football for Felinheli against Barmouth. Chipped the keeper from 30 yards out.
5 Hirael – Sunday League
One for fun is when I used to play Sunday League for Hirael. I was playing against a goalkeeper who is a family member (David Clarke) and I scored past him with a chip! Sure he didn’t speak to me for months after 😂😂
