Stats
Bio
Arriving at North Melbourne with a recognisable surname, Clem McCann joined the club immediately following the tenure of his older brother, former captain-coach and Collingwood premiership star Mick McCann. He made his senior debut during the 1935 season, stepping into a Shinboners lineup that was attempting to rebuild in the wake of the Great Depression. Despite the family pedigree, McCann found opportunities scarce at VFL level, managing just two senior appearances as he struggled to command a regular spot in the side. His brief career at Arden Street is largely remembered for the fraternal connection rather than his own on-field exploits, with his time in the league ending almost as quickly as it began.
