“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the medical professionals who cared for Clive over the past six months. He fought a brave battle and we are relieved he is now at peace.
“We have been overwhelmed by the enormous outpouring of love and support for Clive since he was first diagnosed with LBD, and this is a testament to the coach, friend and mentor he was to not only several generations of footballers, but also anyone who crossed his path in the sport he so dearly loved.
“You know Clive’s history,” he said. “Every team he touched he turned to gold so it is a tragic time to lose a person of his stature — the only men’s coach to win a Nations Cup.”A promising midfielder for Durban United whose playing career was ended prematurely in 1969 by a knee injury, Barker coached unfashionable Durban City to back-to-back National Professional Soccer League titles in 1982 and 1983 that astonished the South African football hierarchy.
