LET’S DO IT!

LEE CLARK is a driven youngmanager with just one aim thisseason – winning!

The 36-year-old has had his football philosophyfashioned by the likes of Kevin Keegan andJean Tigana after a successful playing career inthe top divisions, and he loves to promote afast, attacking style of play.In his eight months at the Galpharm he hasmaintained that ethos and has worked

constantly to bring it into every element of theclub – not only through his trusted staff but inthe youth and quality of the signings he hasmade.Now, with a new-look squad itching to dobattle at League I level, Clark is excited aboutthe prospects of making his football beliefs

produce the goods for some bumper crowds atthe Galpharm.“I want us to be an entertaining team, to passthe ball, be inventive and to play without fear,but most of all I want us to win,” said Clark,who has appointed new signing from Southend,Peter Clarke, as his captain.

“If we can win by adopting those thoughts andideas I’ve given to the squad then so much thebetter, but the be all and end all is winninggames.“Sometimes you have to win when you’re not

LEE NOVAK is confident he cantransfer his prolific non-leaguegoalscoring form to the

Coca-Cola ranks.The 20-year-old made a blistering impact onConference North last season, helpingGateshead win promotion and bagging 35 goalsin all competitions.He picked up both the club and the leaguePlayer of the Year awards and has alreadyshown the desire to make his step up at theGalpharm a massive success.He’s had six months to get used to the idea, ofcourse, having signed for Lee Clark back in the

January transfer window.But he didn’t let that professional contract

become a distraction or a comfort zone ashe continued to hammer in the goals forIan Bogie’s Tyneside team.

Joining Town for the first day ofpre-season, Novak has smoothly

eased himself through full-timetraining and, in the pre-season

matches (mostly as a substitute),he has made a very favourable

impression with hiswillingness to work and

his obvious eye for a goalscoring opportunity.“I’m very confident I can step up and play mypart for the club this season,” said Novak, alifelong Newcastle United fan whose family areall season-ticket holders at St James’ Park.“There’s no point going into the season notbeing confident I can score goals, otherwise I’mdefeated before I’ve even kicked a ball.“Last season went really, really well for me andgave me a lot of confidence, so I’ve just got tolook to continue that form and carry on scoringgoals.“To get 35 gave me a lot of belief and to pick upa few awards as well was a great bonus, so I’maiming to stay among the goals and take thechances when they come my way.”Novak accepts he’s got to battle to get in theteam to start with as competition among thefrontmen is fierce, and he is not setting anytargets for the number of goals he’d like tofinish with in his first season at professionallevel.“I’m certain that playing with better players willlead to me getting more chances and betterchances, so I’m confident of finding the net myfair share of times,” said Novak.“The same thing happened when I stepped up toplay at Gateshead (from Newcastle Blue Star)and that went really well, and I reckon I’ll getplenty of opportunities in front of goal with thesquad we’ve got here.“It’s a really good quality squad and they’ve allmade me feel really welcome since I came downhere. They’ve helped me to settle in really welland feel comfortable, and I couldn’t have askedfor much more with the way pre-season hasgone for me.”Having tasted a decent Galpharm atmosphere

already against his Toon favourites, Novak islooking forward to playing in front of regular12,000-plus crowds.“I know the fans will turn out in theirthousands to watch us and I’m really lookingforward to that,” he said. “It’s part of whatmakes being a footballer so special and it will beeven better if we do as well as I think we can.“This is definitely not a League I squad in termsof quality, it’s much better than that, and if weall stick together I don’t see any reason why wecan’t go up.“From my point of view I’m still learning all thetime from the gaffer, the staff and all the playersand it is my first professional deal, so I knowthere’s a lot of hard work ahead.“But I’m confident if I’m out there on the pitchthat I can take my share of the chances thatcome my way and there’s already a goodrelationship between the strikers at the club.We’ve all played together as partners at differenttimes and it’s gone well, so that’s an encouragingsign.“The whole squad have gelled together, in fact,and that’s why I’m optimistic we can do wellthis season.”

SOLID START

ANDY BUTLER has had amemorable summer andintends to make this Townseason just as enjoyable.

The 25-year-old marriedfiancee Caroline in GretnaGreen during theclose-season – all the family,including their 11-month-oldson Ashton, were there – andthe whole event has put himin a great frame of mind totackle Town’s campaign.

Strong and reliable, formerScunthorpe centre-backButler has impressed inTown’s pre-season gamesand now looks favourite topartner new skipper PeterClarke in the League I openerat Southend on Saturday.

Butler would be delighted toget the nod, and he reckonsTown are fitter, stronger andbetter prepared to challengefor promotion in 2009-10.

“It’s time for us to deliver,”said Butler, who joined theclub a year ago underthen-manager Stan Ternent.

“There are some big teamsin our division this year andwe are one of them, so we arelooking for automaticpromotion and, if that doesn’thappen, the play-offs at thevery least.

Butler pinpoints the firstmonth as crucial.

He said: “Last year we gotoff to an awful start and, laterin the season when we wereso close to the play-offpositions, you looked back atthat early record andwondered ‘what if?’.

“If we’d had as good abeginning to the season aswe had during the run-in,when our away form reallycame together, then we mightwell have made the play-offs.

“A good start this timewould really give us somemomentum, everyone canenjoy things and relax andthen that enables you to playyour best football.

“Winning becomes a habit,so it’s important we make agood start and then continueto do the business fromSaturday onwards.”

taught me to stand on my own twofeet and look after myself.”Peltier played 77 times for Yeovil inall, taking his career tally of games to88, and scored his only goal to date inthe 3-2 win at Swindon Town lastDecember.He was still under contract whenTown’s interest emerged, but washalf-expecting to leave Somerset thissummer.“Myself and the management therespoke at the end of last season, and itbecame clear there was a good chanceof me moving on,” he says.“They had plans to rebuild and I waskeen to progress my career which withno disrespect intended to Yeovil, I

certainly think I’ve done by cominghere.“My agent called me to sayHuddersfield were interested, I had achat with Lee Clark and was veryhappy with what he said to me. Acouple of other clubs had shown aninterest, but in reality, my mind wasmade up.“Like I said, I want to progress and Isee Huddersfield as being a club I canprogress with. The coaching inpre-season has been first-class, theplayers are great and I’ve got a goodfeeling about this season.“Season-ticket sales show the fans areexpecting big things – and so are theplayers!”

of the management staff are second to none atthis level.“I soon knew this was where I wanted to playmy football and while going back to Southendso soon will be a bit strange, I can’t wait to getcracking.”Clarke, who skippered England as an Under 16and went on to win eight Under 21 caps, madehis Everton debut in the 3-1 win at Coventry inJanuary 2001.He was to make 14 appearances for the Toffees,who loaned him out to Blackpool and Port Valein 2002-03, when both were League I rivals ofTown, and Coventry the season after.“Being at Everton provided me with a greatgrounding in the game,” adds Clarke, who hasmade 291 senior appearances and scored 29goals in all.“I consider myself fortunate to have played inthe Premier League – it was brilliant to benamed man of the match in a Merseyside derby(the 1-1 draw at Liverpool in February 2002) –and to have played for the Under 21s alongsidea few who have gone on to the full Englandside.“The loan stints were also great for mydevelopment, and after getting over thedisappointment of leaving Everton, I waspleased to join Blackpool permanently (in a£150,000 deal in September 2004).“Things didn’t always go according to planthere, but I had a good time and I think Imatured as a player while I was there.“I then made the decision to move to Southendto play in the Championship. Ultimately itdidn’t work out because we were relegated(ironically Blackpool came up as the Blues wentdown), but I still enjoyed my time there.“In the last two seasons we’ve given it a reallygood go to get back into the Championship,but we haven’t been quite good enough.“Now I’m at Huddersfield and hoping to kickon and attain what we all want – promotion!

TToowwnn’’ss ggrreeaatteesstt ssiiddee??

Right-back:MALCOLMBROWNTom Johnston signed this popularplayer from Bury in 1977. He went onto play for Newcastle United aftermaking 296 appearances for Townand then re-signed 1985 and made afurther 107. Better crosser of a ballthan David Beckham, and a certainIan Robins owes a large chunk of hisTown goals to Brown.

Left-back: TOM COWANThe only player ever to winback-to-back Player of the Seasontrophies. The tenacious Scot signedfor Town initially on loan fromSheffield United. Neil Warnock madethe move permanent and he went onto help the club gain promotion toDivision I (now the Championship) in1995. Had his own trademark victorycelebration in front of the faithful.

Centremidfield: DARREN BULLOCKNot someone you’d want to bump into down a darkalley late at night, but that’s a good thing for a centralmidfield enforcer. Another Warnock bargain signingfrom Nuneaton (£55,000) who also got his fair share ofgoals. Made 156 appearances for Town, scoring 21times, but had the odd disciplinary issue. Look upcombative in the dictionary and there’ll be a picture ofDarren Bullock.

Rightwing: PAUL DALTON‘Dolly’ came through the ManchesterUnited academy system and hadsuccessful spells at Hartlepool andPlymouth before joining Town in 1995 for afee of £125,000. The skilful winger scored27 goals in 116 games, including amemorable halfway line special againstStoke in November 1997. Take a bowMark Prudhoe!

Centremidfield: CHRISMARSDENSkilful, ball-playing midfielder who wasn’tscared to put his foot in either! Played 155times between 1988-94. Had a verysuccessful but very brief partnership withloan signing Peter Butler in 1992 beforemoving to Wolves for £250,000. Latershone for Southampton.

Striker: ANDY BOOTHLittle need to elaborate –150 Town goals say it all!

Striker: MARCUS STEWARTBrian Horton paid £1.2m for the BristolRovers striker and he repaid with 68 goalsin 160 games. His link-up play and finishingwas some of the best seen at the McAlpine.Controversially sold during the BarryRubery era to Ipswich for £2.5m, where heplayed in the Premier League, showing theclass that could have been on display in theblue and white stripes. Had spells atSunderland and Preston beforedisappearing back to the epicentre of cider.

Left wing: DAVE COWLINGThe lad from Doncaster had what can onlybe described as a love-hate relationshipwith the Town faithful. However asuccession of highly important goalsgained him legendary status, with bigwinners against Leeds, Barnsley andNewport, the last sealing promotion toDivision II (now the Championship) in1983. Played 392 times and netted 48goals in all!

Keeper: NICO VAESENSigned for Town in 1998 from KSCEendracht Aalst. The Belgian wassent off on his debut at Bury but wenton to make 153 appearances, winningthe Supporter’s Player of the Seasonprize in his first year. Left forBirmingham City in 2001. This voteproves how popular he was, havingbeaten off challenges from SteveFrancis and Steve Harper to be No1.

Coming soon onexaminer.co.uk, yourchance to vote for theworst-ever Town team ...

We asked on-line fans atexaminer.co.uk to name theirbest-ever Huddersfield Town line-up.Here’s what they said ...

● Compiled by GAVINCASTLE

Manager:Mick BuxtonBorn in Northumberland on May 29,1943, Buxton was appointed Townmanager in October 1978 with theteam third from bottom in the oldDivision IV (now League II).Under his guidance Town liftedthe Fourth Division title twoyears later.This was followedin 1983 by promotion toDivision II (now theChampionship). By 1986however, Town were inbottom place and Buxtonwas sacked two days beforeChristmas!

‘This time thereare no excuses’FIERCE competitor Jim Goodwin

believes Town are primed to hittheir promotion target this

season and vowed: “We’ve got noexcuses!”The experienced Republic of Irelandinternational played 40 times under threemanagers last time around and has seenenough of the club already to realise theChampionship is a must.The tough-tackling midfielder accepts it willbe far from easy to go up from a League Iroster which looks more competitive thanever.But with half a dozen new faces in the squadand an ambitious new board underchairman-owner Dean Hoyle, the 27-year-oldreckons Town have everything in place formanager Lee Clark and his staff to workwith.“Promotion is definitely the target and thehope,” said Goodwin, who was a League Ichampionship winner with ScunthorpeUnited.“Last season was a failure in terms ofeverything we set out to do at the start of thecampaign.“We had a good run in the middle andanother one towards the end, but it justwasn’t to be.“This time we’ve got no excuses. We have toat least make the play-offs and that’s notputting added pressure on ourselves – we justknow what is expected.“We are one of the ‘big boys’ in this divisionand we have to underline that fact.“Huddersfield Town are far too good a teamand far too big a club to be hanging aroundin League I any longer.“It’s about time we played together as awhole to achieve the promotion that’sneeded. Enough has been talked about, it’s

up to us as a group of players and a staff tomake it a reality.”Waterford-born Goodwin, who began hiscareer with Celtic before playing forStockport County and Scunthorpe, isdetermined to make himself a key part ofClark’s plans as soon as he returns fromsurgery to cure a knee problem (he should beback in training within a week).“When a new manager comes in he brings hisown people and makes his own signings, andthat can sometimes mean that the playerswho are already at the club find they don’tfeature – but that’s certainly not been thecase for me,” he explained.“I’ve not had any problems, things have beengoing along nicely for me, I’ve got a goodrelationship with Lee Clark and all thebackroom staff and the gaffer has told me hewants me here fighting for a place.“While some people have moved on, which isinevitable, others have come in and we’ve gotreally good competition for places because allthe new lads have impressed.“From my point of view, I’ve been told I’mwanted and, until I’m told otherwise, I’ll be

fighting as hard as anyone else to prove I’mworth a first-team shirt.“I was delighted to be as involved as much asI was last time and to play 40 games was asmany as I’ve ever played in a season – so Iwant to keep that going.“Unfortunately we weren’t as successful lastseason as we should have been and wanted tobe – we underachieved, definitely – but asI’ve said before we need to put that right thistime.”Goodwin believes a dozen teams will fancytheir chances of promotion this term andthat Town’s opening two months of theseason will give them a fair indication of howthey rank among those rivals.“Looking at the fixture list it’s not easy – it’sa real tester this year,” said the man whoearned his senior cap as a substitute for RoyKeane against Finland in Helsinki in 2002.“League I will be very difficult. The top halfwill all believe they can win promotion and,in the first couple of months, we play prettymuch all the ‘big boys’, so a positive start is amust.“I know the manager believes we are better

set up now than we were when he came inand the new lads have been excellent up tonow – everyone making them very welcome.“I think these are exciting times again forTown fans because we’ve definitely got themanagement, coaching staff and players inplace who are good enough to get us out ofthis division.”Goodwin feels pre-season has gone well forhimself and the squad and, while he’d like toadd to his only goal for the club so far, he’sready to take on a mountain of midfieldwork.“I’m just going to get my head down andwork as hard as I can,” he said.“If you do that, then everything else tends totake care of itself and if we can make a goodstart to the season then confidence will behigh.“I played more of a holding role in front ofthe back four last season, so my scoringopportunities were not so great, but I wouldlike to improve my goals tally this time if thechance comes.“First off, though, my aim is to prove I’mworth a place in the starting XI and I’mworking as hard as I can towards that.”

■ GREAT FEELING: Jim Goodwin celebrates scoring Town's first goal in last season’s 2-0 win over Scunthorpe at the Galpharm. Now the Irishman is keen to add further strikes.

Right-back:MALCOLMBROWNTom Johnston signed this popularplayer from Bury in 1977. He went onto play for Newcastle United aftermaking 296 appearances for Townand then re-signed 1985 and made afurther 107. Better crosser of a ballthan David Beckham, and a certainIan Robins owes a large chunk of hisTown goals to Brown.

Left-back: TOM COWANThe only player ever to winback-to-back Player of the Seasontrophies. The tenacious Scot signedfor Town initially on loan fromSheffield United. Neil Warnock madethe move permanent and he went onto help the club gain promotion toDivision I (now the Championship) in1995. Had his own trademark victorycelebration in front of the faithful.

Centremidfield: DARREN BULLOCKNot someone you’d want to bump into down a darkalley late at night, but that’s a good thing for a centralmidfield enforcer. Another Warnock bargain signingfrom Nuneaton (£55,000) who also got his fair share ofgoals. Made 156 appearances for Town, scoring 21times, but had the odd disciplinary issue. Look upcombative in the dictionary and there’ll be a picture ofDarren Bullock.

Rightwing: PAUL DALTON‘Dolly’ came through the ManchesterUnited academy system and hadsuccessful spells at Hartlepool andPlymouth before joining Town in 1995 for afee of £125,000. The skilful winger scored27 goals in 116 games, including amemorable halfway line special againstStoke in November 1997. Take a bowMark Prudhoe!

Centremidfield: CHRISMARSDENSkilful, ball-playing midfielder who wasn’tscared to put his foot in either! Played 155times between 1988-94. Had a verysuccessful but very brief partnership withloan signing Peter Butler in 1992 beforemoving to Wolves for £250,000. Latershone for Southampton.

Striker: ANDY BOOTHLittle need to elaborate –150 Town goals say it all!

Striker: MARCUS STEWARTBrian Horton paid £1.2m for the BristolRovers striker and he repaid with 68 goalsin 160 games. His link-up play and finishingwas some of the best seen at the McAlpine.Controversially sold during the BarryRubery era to Ipswich for £2.5m, where heplayed in the Premier League, showing theclass that could have been on display in theblue and white stripes. Had spells atSunderland and Preston beforedisappearing back to the epicentre of cider.

Left wing: DAVE COWLINGThe lad from Doncaster had what can onlybe described as a love-hate relationshipwith the Town faithful. However asuccession of highly important goalsgained him legendary status, with bigwinners against Leeds, Barnsley andNewport, the last sealing promotion toDivision II (now the Championship) in1983. Played 392 times and netted 48goals in all!

Keeper: NICO VAESENSigned for Town in 1998 from KSCEendracht Aalst. The Belgian wassent off on his debut at Bury but wenton to make 153 appearances, winningthe Supporter’s Player of the Seasonprize in his first year. Left forBirmingham City in 2001. This voteproves how popular he was, havingbeaten off challenges from SteveFrancis and Steve Harper to be No1.

‘This time thereare no excuses’FIERCE competitor Jim Goodwin

believes Town are primed to hittheir promotion target this

season and vowed: “We’ve got noexcuses!”The experienced Republic of Irelandinternational played 40 times under threemanagers last time around and has seenenough of the club already to realise theChampionship is a must.The tough-tackling midfielder accepts it willbe far from easy to go up from a League Iroster which looks more competitive thanever.But with half a dozen new faces in the squadand an ambitious new board underchairman-owner Dean Hoyle, the 27-year-oldreckons Town have everything in place formanager Lee Clark and his staff to workwith.“Promotion is definitely the target and thehope,” said Goodwin, who was a League Ichampionship winner with ScunthorpeUnited.“Last season was a failure in terms ofeverything we set out to do at the start of thecampaign.“We had a good run in the middle andanother one towards the end, but it justwasn’t to be.“This time we’ve got no excuses. We have toat least make the play-offs and that’s notputting added pressure on ourselves – we justknow what is expected.“We are one of the ‘big boys’ in this divisionand we have to underline that fact.“Huddersfield Town are far too good a teamand far too big a club to be hanging aroundin League I any longer.“It’s about time we played together as awhole to achieve the promotion that’sneeded. Enough has been talked about, it’s

up to us as a group of players and a staff tomake it a reality.”Waterford-born Goodwin, who began hiscareer with Celtic before playing forStockport County and Scunthorpe, isdetermined to make himself a key part ofClark’s plans as soon as he returns fromsurgery to cure a knee problem (he should beback in training within a week).“When a new manager comes in he brings hisown people and makes his own signings, andthat can sometimes mean that the playerswho are already at the club find they don’tfeature – but that’s certainly not been thecase for me,” he explained.“I’ve not had any problems, things have beengoing along nicely for me, I’ve got a goodrelationship with Lee Clark and all thebackroom staff and the gaffer has told me hewants me here fighting for a place.“While some people have moved on, which isinevitable, others have come in and we’ve gotreally good competition for places because allthe new lads have impressed.“From my point of view, I’ve been told I’mwanted and, until I’m told otherwise, I’ll be

fighting as hard as anyone else to prove I’mworth a first-team shirt.“I was delighted to be as involved as much asI was last time and to play 40 games was asmany as I’ve ever played in a season – so Iwant to keep that going.“Unfortunately we weren’t as successful lastseason as we should have been and wanted tobe – we underachieved, definitely – but asI’ve said before we need to put that right thistime.”Goodwin believes a dozen teams will fancytheir chances of promotion this term andthat Town’s opening two months of theseason will give them a fair indication of howthey rank among those rivals.“Looking at the fixture list it’s not easy – it’sa real tester this year,” said the man whoearned his senior cap as a substitute for RoyKeane against Finland in Helsinki in 2002.“League I will be very difficult. The top halfwill all believe they can win promotion and,in the first couple of months, we play prettymuch all the ‘big boys’, so a positive start is amust.“I know the manager believes we are better

set up now than we were when he came inand the new lads have been excellent up tonow – everyone making them very welcome.“I think these are exciting times again forTown fans because we’ve definitely got themanagement, coaching staff and players inplace who are good enough to get us out ofthis division.”Goodwin feels pre-season has gone well forhimself and the squad and, while he’d like toadd to his only goal for the club so far, he’sready to take on a mountain of midfieldwork.“I’m just going to get my head down andwork as hard as I can,” he said.“If you do that, then everything else tends totake care of itself and if we can make a goodstart to the season then confidence will behigh.“I played more of a holding role in front ofthe back four last season, so my scoringopportunities were not so great, but I wouldlike to improve my goals tally this time if thechance comes.“First off, though, my aim is to prove I’mworth a place in the starting XI and I’mworking as hard as I can towards that.”
