Hugh "Hughie" Clifford (8 April 1873 – 1929) was a Scottish footballer, who played for Hibernian, Stoke, Celtic, Motherwell, Liverpool and Manchester City.[2][4]

Career

Clifford started his career Carfin Shamrock before joining Hibernian in 1887.[2] In 1890 he moved south and joined Football Alliance side Stoke with whom he helped win the title.[2] Midway through the 1891–92 season Clifford returned to Scotland and signed for Celtic in what was an "Illegal" transfer and he was suspended from English football for two years.[2] He signed for Liverpool in May 1892 but never played a game as his transfer was "illegal" as he had already played for Celtic the previous week and the deal fell through. He returned to Stoke in 1893 and played one match in the 1893–94 season.[2] He then went on to play for Motherwell, and spent the 1895–96 season with Manchester City.[2]
