Raymond Spencer (born 25 May 1933) was an English professional footballer who represented England at Schools level. He was born in Kings Norton, Birmingham.[1]

Ray Spencer joined Aston Villa as a junior, turning professional in June 1950. Despite remaining at Villa Park until March 1958, when he joined Darlington, he never made the Villa first team.[1] He played 98 league games, mainly at wing half, for Darlington, scoring 5 goals,[2] and opened the scoring in Darlington's shock defeat of West Ham United in the 1961 League Cup,[3] before moving to Torquay United in June 1961. He made 59 league appearances for Torquay, scoring once, before leaving to join Bath City[4] in July 1963 having lost his place to Geoff Cox.
