Clifford Ette (September 1910 – 1995) was an English footballer who played, as an inside-right, for Northampton Nomads, West Ham United, Southall and London League Park Royal.

Career[]

Ette started his career with Northampton Nomads before signing for West Ham in 1934. He had signed for West Ham following a personal request by Charlie Paynter to turn out in a match against Preston North End. This game was on 3 February 1934 and although he scored a goal, it turned out to be Ette's only game for The Hammers.[1] Mysteriously he was never picked again but later appeared for Southall and London League Park Royal, and captained the Southall team that defeated Swindon Town 3-1 in the 1935–36 FA Cup First Round.[2]

The onset of arthritis finished his footballing career and left Ette disabled in later life.[3]
