Where is Clarke Carlisle now?
A solid figure at the heart of Burnley’s defence, Clarke Carlisle retired from playing at the end of the 2012-13 season after a spell playing in League Two with Northampton Town.
Starting his professional career with Blackpool in 1997, he went onto make 541 first-team appearances for 10 clubs over a 16-year period including Burnley where he made 29 appearances during their first Premier League season.
Towards the end of his playing days he was chairman of the management committee of the PFA from 2010 to 2013.
Upon hanging up his boots Carlisle went straight into a full-time career in broadcasting as a co-commentator and pundit across various networks and also released his autobiography You Don’t Know Me, But.
On December 22nd 2014, he made the headlines when he was left fighting for his life after being hit by a lorry. Fortunately he made a full recovery and returned home six weeks later. Three months on from the incident it was revealed that he had been suffering from severe depression for the previous 18 months and the accident was a suicide attempt.
He has since sought treatment for his depression and has spoken out to encourage others to get help by launching his own mental health charity called the Clarke Carlisle Foundation for Dual Diagnosis.
He also works at the University and College of Football Business at Manchester City’s Etihad stadium, where he puts together workshops and seminars for business executives.
