About Claude Clough
- Claude Hamilton Clough (8 October 1884 – 23 February 1922) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the early 1900s. He holds the record as the youngest ever player in the league, having made his debut at 15 years 209 days.
- Until March 2012 the record was thought to be held by Keith Bromage, who made his debut at 15 years and 287 days.
- Research by the official AFL historians discovered that Clough was born in 1884, not the previously thought 1880.Clough's first game of league football was notable as the result of the match was overturned almost a week after the game concluded.
- The match finished as a draw, with both teams having scored 68 points but a point kicked by Melbourne at the end of the third-quarter was later disallowed and St Kilda was awarded the win.
- It was St Kilda's first win since they entered the league in 1897, and their only win for the season.
