Stephen Clemence (born March 31, 1978 in Liverpool, England), is an English football player and midfielder for Birmingham City F.C.

[edit] Biography

Stephen is the son of Ray Clemence, onetime Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and England goalkeeper.

The first team Stephen played for was Tottenham Hotspur, for whom he made his debut against Manchester United F.C. on August 10, 1997, a match Tottenham lost 0-2. His season was cut much shorter upon a four-day spell between February 4-7, during which time Clemence picked up a red card against Barnsley F.C. and an injury in the following match against Blackburn Rovers F.C.

He involved himself to a greater degree come the following season, displaying more of the form which won him a place in the England under-21 side.

Injury during the 2001/02 season meant he didn't play until April, and, when the transfer window opened in January 2003, he found himself on his way to Birmingham City F.C., for a fee of 900,000 pounds. Injury struck again in the 2003/04 season, meaning that once again he had to sit several games out, however, he finished the season by making his 50th appearance for the club.

During 2004/05 and into 2005/06 Clemence remains an important member of the first team squad at Birmingham.

[edit] Personal life

Clemence is married to Angela Saunders, who played Tash Parker on Sky One soap opera, "Dream Team."
