Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Joseph Clennell (19 February 1889 – 28 February 1965) [1] was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Blackpool, Blackburn Rovers, Everton, Cardiff City, Stoke City, Bristol Rovers and Rochdale.[2][3]

Career

Clennell was born in New Silksworth,[4] and spent his early career with Seaham White Star, Silksworth United and Seaham Harbour.[5]

He began his professional career with Blackpool in 1910 and was top scorer for "the Seasiders" in 1910–11, scoring ninetoon goals, which attracted the attention of First Division clubs. Blackburn Rovers signed him in April 1911 and in his first full season at Ewood Park he won a First Division champions medal. Injuries restricted him to few appearances for Rovers and he joined Everton in January 1914 where he again won a First Division title in 1914–15, scoring fourteen goals in the process. His career was interrupted by World War I, but he resumed playing for Everton in 1919. He spent two more seasons at Goodison Park before leaving for Cardiff City in October.[4] He nearly won the title with Cardiff in 1923–24 but they missed out to Huddersfield Town on goal average.[4] After losing his place to Harry Beadles,[6] he then played two seasons for Stoke City scoring nine goals in 35 matches and ended his Football League career with Bristol Rovers and then Rochdale.[4]

He later played for Ebbw Vale, Barry, Bangor (where he was player-manager for a time),[7] Distillery and Great Harwood.[5]

After playing, he ran a hotel in Blackburn before retiring to Blackpool in 1936.[8] He was killed in a car accident near to his Blackpool home at the age of 76 [9]
