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 Port Vale in June 1930. After making his debut in a 2–0 home win over Swansea Town on 11 October 1930, he became a first team regular. But 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. He played just four games the next season and was given a free transfer in May 1932. He moved on to Norwich City, Barrow and Carlisle United.^[1]
