Clement Mitchell (20 February 1862 – 6 October 1937) was an English sportsman who represented the England national football team and played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club.
Mitchell was born at Cambridge in 1862 and was educated at Felsted School.[1] [2] He was the first Englishman to score a hat-trick against Wales in an international, with goals in the 16th, 70th and 90th minutes of their 1883 clash at Kennington Oval. A centre-forward, he also scored a goal in a loss to Scotland a month later and in a 1–1 draw with Wales at the 1885 British Home Championship.[3]
Mitchell had been a dominant batsman at school and played club cricket for Crystal Palace Cricket Club. In club cricket he scored double centuries and between 1890 and 1892 made eight first-class cricket appearances as a left-handed batsman for Kent.[4] He had less success at county cricket level, scoring 126 runs at a batting average of less than 10 runs per innings.[5]
Mitchell died at Aldrington in Sussex in 1937 aged 75.
