Joseph Clemoes was an associated schoolboy with Exeter City in the late 1990s and played through to the age of seventeen.

He later attended the University of the West of England, gained a professional qualification and worked as a careers adviser in various parts of London as well as in a university. Remaining a keen follower of the Grecians, he continued to watch the club's games in London and the South East.

Continuing also to play five-a-side football, Joseph also became a runner in 2017 and ran a number of sub-three hour marathons including the Exeter Live Better Marathon (organised by the City Community Trust) in November 2021 when he finished 10th.
