David McClelland (born 25 December 1941) is an English former footballer who played for Bishop Auckland, Port Vale, and Wellington Town in the 1960s.

Career

[edit]

McClelland played for Bishop Auckland before having a successful trial with Stanley Matthews' Fourth Division side Port Vale, which resulted in him signing a permanent deal with the club in August 1967.[1] With just two substitute and two full appearances at Vale Park during the 1967–68 season, he was given a free transfer in April 1968 to non-League Wellington Town.[1] In later life he took up residence in Sidmouth, Devon.
