Clara and I

The Doctor for nine years.

KNEW: what a gloomy choice. Did you really just turn down a potentially boring but safe statement in an obituary? Choosing the past simple we are cutting any relation with the present, placing the statement completely in the past: Clara and I used to know The Doctor, we did it for nine years, then he/she/it/they (what's the right pronoun for an ungendered alien?) either died or changed so drastically that we aren't able to recognize him/her/it/them anymore. What a shame.

HAVE KNOWN: definitely the most obvious choice, which reflects your lack of imagination. Painful. Using the present perfect in this sentence we are basically saying that Clara and I meet The Doctor nine years ago and we all are still friends, enemies or acquaintances. In fact, the present perfect tense is somehow related to the present.
