Clifford 'Cliff' Ette (September 1910 – 1995) was an English footballer who played, as an inside-right, for Northampton Nomads, West Ham United and London League Park Royal.
Career
Ette started his career with Northampton Nomads before signing for West Ham in 1934. He had signed for West Ham following a personal request by Charlie Paynter to turn out in a match against Preston North End. This game was on 3 February 1934 and although he scored a goal, it turned out to be Ette's only game for The Hammers. Mysteriously he was never picked again but later appeared playing for London League Park Royal and captained a team which defeated Swindon Town in the 1935-36 FA Cup. The onset of arthritis finished his footballing career and left Ette disabled in later life.
