}}William Edwin Clare (1883–1944) was an English professional footballer who played as a full back in the Football League for Notts County.[1]

Life and career

Clare was born in Basford, Nottinghamshire, in 1884, the son of a mining contractor.[2] He played local football for clubs including Kirkby Rovers, Bentinck Colliery Welfare and Mansfield Woodhouse,[3] and was on Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club's ground staff in 1902,[4][5] before signing for Notts County in 1904. He made his debut at the end of the 1903–04 Football League season, in a 2–0 loss away to Small Heath in the First Division,[2][6] and made five more league appearances the following season.[1] He signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in May 1905. He began as a regular, but was displaced by Tom Turner, made no more appearances in the Southern League team, and left the club at the end of the season.[2] He later played for Mansfield Wesleyans.[1]

While a Notts County player, he received the Certificate of the Royal Humane Society in 1904 for rescuing a child from the Grantham Canal:[7]{{quote|text=Clare was walking on November 26th between Nottingham and Radcliffe-on-Trent, when he heard cries for help, and saw a boy named Harold Lamb, of West Bridgford, struggling in the canal. Although fully dressed, Clare unhesitatingly plunged into the water, swam to the other side, and rescued the boy.}}

Clare died in 1944 in Edmonton, Middlesex, at the age of 60.[1][8]
