On the soap, his storylines included being subjected to racism and being framed for a murder.
When Clyde came to the square he first got a job at the Queen Vic but this soon turned sour as a series of thefts were occurring in the pub.
At the time, Clyde was accused by Eddie Royle because he was the only black barman, but he was then cleared of any allegations.
