Dr Carlos Bertram (Bertie) Clarke, OBE (April 7, 1918, Lakes Folly, Cats Castle, St Michael, Barbados – October 14, 1993, Putney, London, England) was a West Indian cricketer who played in three Tests in 1939. A fine leg-spinner, he was for a time a guest of the Queen, after which, according to an admiring Leo Cooper, he returned "the same as ever and continued to weave his spells over a host of club cricketers". [Cooper introduction to "Odd Men In", p. viii.]
