1 (1)1 Playing statistics to end of 1993 season .Clayton Andrew Lamb (born 1 July 1964) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Lamb, who had only just turned 17, first played for West Adelaide in 1981 and was a regular fixture in their team throughout the 1980s though he missed selection in their 1983 SANFL Premiership win over Sturt. A player with a long left foot kick, Lamb played mostly as a midfielder or half forward and topped West Adelaide's goal-kicking with 38 in 1988. After captaining the club in the 1989 season, he made a surprise switch to Glenelg the following year. He was good enough to represented South Australia at interstate football on three occasions.[1]
Hawthorn had initially secured the services of Lamb, in the 1986 VFL Draft, but it was with Adelaide that he made his debut at that level. He was a one of the foundation players for Adelaide in 1991 and made played his only league game in their round five loss to the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval.[2] Lamb remained the only player to be delisted with only one game to their name until John Hinge in 2007.
