Clutch vibrates OR is it more like a creak whilst you press down?

Its known as a pedal box failure. Basically if you have a hard clutch putting strain on the pedal box, the joint where the clutch pedal fits takes the pain. It starts to twist apart because the weld isn't strong. To eradicate the problem, weld in a metal plate over the weld to strengthen it.

reckon it could just be the vibrations of the engine?
