Clem Smith knows everyone. Or that is at least the impression you seem to get. Whether he was “chilling” at the Boarding House at Wesley College, watching mates play a game of footy at Thornlie, getting ready for training in the Change Rooms at Lathlain Park for Perth or attending a formal dinner with the WA State Academy in one of the many function rooms at Subiaco Oval, he simply walks in and his smile attract all to him like the proverbial moths to the flame. It doesn’t matter if you have known him for five years or five minutes, Clem just seems like your long lost mate and you’d love to have him on your side. He always has time for you to have a chat or say g’day, regardless if you’re a Year 8 kid or the State Coach. It is a rare quality that few possess.
