Clark: We won't be making up the numbers

13 April 2012

Fulham midfielder Lee Clark celebrated clinching promotion to the Premiership following the 2-1 win at Huddersfield.  

He had previously enjoyed promotion to the top flight with Newcastle and Sunderland.

Clark admitted he was looking forward to Monday's game against Sheffield Wednesday when one point will be enough to seal the championship as well.

"I know we need only one point from our last five games but I have got my eye on the record of 105 points which I managed to set with Sunderland in 1997," he said.

"The Fulham side compares favourably with both my previous clubs - one common theme is the strength of the squad and the strike-force.

"All credit to Huddersfield because although they are near the bottom they made us play to our maximum.

"We had to get balls in behind them more and more during the second half and it was a tremendous finish from Luis Boa Morte that won it for us. "

He added: "The fans were tremendous and it was a terrific feeling in the dressing room to know that we will be mixing it with the top clubs next season.

"Knowing what this club is like we will not be going into the Premiership just to make up the numbers, but to compete fully."

Clark added that there would be no immediate celebrations as the team were likely to be in training ahead of Monday's game against Wednesday.

Fulham owner, Harrods boss Mohamed al-Fayed, was not at the McAlpine Stadium but has promised to bankroll Fulham to Premiership success.
