Clarence Grenville Spencer (5 August 1909[1] – 1979[2]) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Port Vale, Barrow and Carlisle United.[3]
Playing career
Spencer played for Butler's Hill and was on Birmingham's books, though without appearing for the first team, before joining Second Division side Port Vale in June 1930.[1] After making his debut at The Old Recreation Ground in a 2–0 win over Swansea Town on 11 October 1930, he became a first team regular.[1] He scored his first goal in the Football League seven days later, in a 3–0 win over Reading at Elm Park.[1] However after breaking an ankle on 26 January 1931, in a 3–1 home defeat to Everton, he lost his place to Dennis Izon and failed to win it back upon his recovery.[1] He played just four games the next season and was given a free transfer in May 1932.[1] He moved on to Norwich City, Barrow and Carlisle United.[1]
