What’s the difference between starting off with a silver platter and just starting off strong? While Zoe Clarke has had both experiences, it would be unfair to say she only started off strong because the sport was hand delivered to her in the form of Jackson Clarke. Zoe Clarke is her own player and despite Jackson Clarke’s unfortunate passing, his passing just means that there’s nothing stopping Zoe Clarke from picking up his torch or making her own legacy with slight help from her father.
While some understand the current unfortunate circumstances will make playing with passion a lot harder than it used to be for Zoe Clarke, many are willing to wait, as it’ll be a while before we get our answer to the question of who Zoe Clarke will become. Zoe Clarke’s already making a name for herself as a defensive star, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Zoe Clarke’s career taking a slight variation from Jackson Clarke’s career overall, as one leaned more into the attacking midfielder while another fits into a defending wing back, but we hope that both Clarkes will go on to impress the league. By the end of their career, they both will have hopefully added something to their game, maybe adding Defensive and Playmaking attributes, into her overall play style and perfecting those before moving onto becoming a much better scorer, is in the cards for Zoe Clarke. Maybe being an amazing playmaker with a knack for defense is all she’s worth.
As a testament to Jackson Clarke’s career, many fans of the deceased player, whether former players or fans gained throughout his 9-year career, vowed to show up to Zoe’s first SSL game wearing Jackson Clarke’s jersey. “She isn’t alone, we’re all here for her. We all support her.”
