Eddie Clayton (born 7 May 1937) is an English former footballer. [1]
Clayton most famously played for Tottenham Hotspur as an inside forward. After graduating from the Spurs academy, he scored twice on his debut in a 4-3 victory over Everton at White Hart Lane in April 1958. [2] However, he served mostly as a stand-in for the more expensive signings of Bill Nicholson's famous 1960s side, making over 100 appearances in the process. [3]
After playing at Southend United he joined non-league Ashford Town (Kent) in 1970 [4] and subsequently went on to captain Margate. [5]
