Clive Stafford (born 4 April 1963) is an English former professional footballer.
Born in Ipswich, Stafford joined local amateur club Coplestonians in his teens, where he spent eight years, before joining Achilles in 1985.[1] Three years later he signed for Diss Town. Working in the insurance industry at the time, following trials with Ipswich Town in January 1989,[1] he turned professional after signing for Colchester United on 5 March.[2] However, after just over a year at Colchester, including a loan spell at Exeter City and a trial at West Brom, he returned to non-League football with Bury Town.
In 1992, he signed for Sudbury Town, where he played alongside several other ex-Colchester players in a team that reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history.[3] In 1998, he joined Felixstowe Port & Town, ending his playing career at the end of the season.[1]
Stafford later served as reserve team manager at Woodbridge Town, and currently coaches at Coplestonians. He has also appeared in friendly matches for Suffolk County Cricket Club.[1]
