Alfred Clement "Clem" Jackson (1886 – 28 August 1960) was an English professional footballer who made 184 appearances in the Football League playing for Lincoln City. He played as a right back.[2]

Life and career

Jackson was born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire,[1] and played football for local clubs Kimberley St John's and Eastwood Rangers before joining Lincoln City.[2] He made his debut in January 1909,[1] and contributed to Lincoln becoming champions of the Midland League and consequent re-election to the Football League.[3] He played regularly from then on, making more than 30 appearances each season until the First World War put a stop to league football in 1915. He played 15 games in the first post-war season, his last appearances in Lincoln's first team.[1]

Jackson died in 1960 aged about 74.[1]
