Michael Clifford (28 April 1916 — 9 October 1942) was an Australian rugby union international.
Clifford was born in Forbes and attended Bathurst's St Stanislaus' College.[1]
A goal-kicking fullback, Clifford played first-grade for St. George and was capped once for the Wallabies, against the All Blacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1938.[2] He was on the abandoned 1939–40 tour of Britain and Ireland with the Wallabies.[2] After a 100-point season with St. George in 1940, Clifford enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force.[2] [3]
Clifford, who reached the rank of flight sergeant, was a Spitfire pilot with a Royal Air Force squadron during the war.[2] Back in Australia in 1942, he was killed in a training accident, while flying over Broken Bay near Terrigal.[2] [4]
