Clive Darren Allen (born 20 May 1961) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward for seven different London clubs.

[2] Allen started his career at Queens Park Rangers in the late 1970s, and scored 32 league goals in 49 appearances, before moving to Arsenal.

QPR also reached the FA Cup final for the first time with Allen scoring the goals in 1–0 victories in both the sixth Round (vs Crystal Palace)[7] and semi-final (vs West Bromwich Albion).

[13] He scored, but was on the losing side alongside his cousin Paul Allen, in the 1987 FA Cup Final.

Allen moved from Spurs to join Bordeaux in March 1988, scoring 13 goals in 19 league games.

He then joined West Ham United in March 1992, scoring once in four league games, but was unable to stop them from being relegated.

[17] In January 1994, when Allen was out of favour at West Ham United, Tottenham manager Ossie Ardiles (who had been his Tottenham team-mate the previous decade) expressed interest in bringing Allen back to White Hart Lane as he looked to spend up to £500,000 on a striker to cover for the injured Teddy Sheringham, but the transfer did not happen.

[21] Allen also works as a commentator on ESPN and BT Sport predominantly for coverage of Ligue 1, Bundesliga, FA Cup, and UEFA club competitions.
