Leeds fans will love what Jack Clarke did to Frank Lampard for Ipswich
Leeds United fans will be delighted to see what former ace Jack Clarke did against Frank Lampard on Saturday.
It is fair to say that the former England international isn’t well-liked at Elland Road after his days as Derby County manager.
The infamous spy-gate saga, the Rams’ playoff semi-final victory in LS11 and Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis have all combined to add a bit of edge whenever the Whites face the 46-year-old.
The ex-Chelsea boss now finds himself at Coventry City and although they never faced Leeds, their fans will still love what happened at The Coventry Building Society Arena.

The Sky Blues welcomed Premier League outfit Ipswich Town in the FA Cup on 8 February in the hope of earning a spot in the fifth round.
Leeds supporters will have been excited to see both Kalvin Phillips and Clarke starting for the Tractor Boys and will have had one eye on their performances.
It is safe to say that they weren’t disappointed as both put in positive showings on the day but it was the latter who particularly caught the eye.
The 24-year-old netted two goals on the day, his second and third in Ipswich colours, while also providing an assist for Jaden Philogene’s strike.
With that being said, the former Elland Road youngster contributed to three of the four goals against Lampard’s side, helping to secure a 4-1 win while knocking Coventry out of the FA Cup.
Leeds United fans will love what happened to Frank Lampard
Clarke is a well-liked figure in LS11 despite things not going as he would have hoped after departing for Tottenham in the summer of 2021.
The winger was sensational at times for Sunderland and as a result, earned his move to the Premier League to play under Kieran McKenna.
Despite not returning to Leeds as some supporters would have hoped, fans are still backing him to succeed with the Tractor Boys.
As a result, they will be glad to see him bag a brace and will love the fact that it has come against Lampard.
