Clive Euclid Aklana Wilson (born 13 November 1961 in Manchester) was an English footballer who played midfield and left-back. He played for many teams including Manchester City, Chelsea, QPR and Tottenham Hotspur.

Clive made his QPR debut against Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw at the City Ground in August 1990.He was signed as a midfielder for QPR where he had played all his career, as a steady if largely undistinguished player, but the following season the new QPR boss,Gerry Francis, converted him to play left-back.It was here that Wilson truly found his position as his speed allied to his excellent passing ability made him an excellent defender.Over the next four seasons he was a near ever-present for Rangers and he went on to play 172 league games for the R's, scoring 12 goals, all bar one scored from the penalty spot where he hardly ever missed. In the summer of 1995 he was inexplicably allowed to leave on a free transfer and he joined Spurs (signed by his old QPR boss Gerry Francis) where he continued to give another four seasons excellent service.
