Playing career

Clements began his career with Bolton Wanderers, who allowed him a two-month loan spell at Roy Sproson's Port Vale in February 1977.[1] He appeared as a substitute on 7 February in a 2–0 defeat to York City at Vale Park, making his full debut four weeks later in a 1–1 draw with Shrewsbury Town at Gay Meadow.[1] In total, he featured in just three Third Division games for the "Valiants" at the end of the 1976–77 season.[1] He played one Second Division game at Burnden Park for Ian Greaves's "Trotters" in the 1977–78 season,[2] before joining Charlie Wright's York City. Having survived a re-election vote, the "Minstermen" finished tenth in the Fourth Division in 1978–79. York then finished in 17th place in 1979–80, before finishing bottom of the Football League in 1980–81 under the stewardship of Barry Lyons. Clements scored eight goals in 163 league and cup games during his four years at Bootham Crescent. He later played in the Northern Counties East League for Rowntree Mackintosh.[1]
