Career

McClelland was born in Colchester and played for local side Colchester United. He impressed in the club's reserve side and was spotted by scouts at First Division Stoke City who paid a small fee to acquire his signature. However, he failed to impress managing just four matches in 1952–53 and none the following season. He left the Victoria Ground in August 1954 and spent a season with Swindon Town and then Rochdale.
