Clayton Graham Blackmore is a former
Welsh international footballer. He was a combative player known for his attacking free kicks who excelled at
full back and in central defence but could play equally well in
midfield or as an emergency
forward.Blackmore once had trials with
Neath Rugby Club but, instead joined
Manchester United as an apprentice. Having come through the United
youth system he won the first of his 39 caps for
Wales after only two first team appearances at
Old Trafford. He has the unique distinction of having worn every number for United from 2 to 11 (under the old system of the first XI wearing shirts numbered 1-11, until players were assigned with a squad number to keep all season).
