It was in a book he had bought at the Underground Railroad Museum in Flushing, Ohio, while on tour with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater troupe.

Tom Vickery was handed the squad signed jersey by Clarke to generate money for The Adam Stansfield Foundation, which raises awareness around bowel cancer related issues.
