Horace Ray Clover (20 March 1895 – 1 January 1984) was a leading Australian rules footballer in the (then) Victorian Football League (VFL).
Clover was a high-marking centre half-forward who starred from his first game, kicking three goals and hitting the post four times.[1] Clover was Carlton’s key player during his career, including stints as playing coach in 1922-23 and 1927 for 26 wins from 45 matches. He also served as club secretary, vice-president and president over many years.
Called "one of the finest exponents of the centre-half-forward position that the game has known",[1] Clover was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
