Alf Day

Alfred Day (2 October 1907 – 15 November 1997) was a Welsh professional footballer who played at wing half for Tottenham Hotspur, Millwall, Southampton, Tranmere Rovers, Swindon Town in the 1930s and represented Wales at international level on one occasion.

Playing career Day was born in Ebbw Vale and attended Pontygof School. After playing youth football with his home-town club, he moved to London where he began his career at non League club Cheshunt. In May 1931, he signed for Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee, being "farmed out" to the Spurs' nursery team Northfleet United, where he joined his former Ebbw Vale colleague, Eugene "Taffy" O'Callaghan. The match at Windsor Park, Belfast against Northern Ireland ended in a 1–1 draw.

Shortly afterwards, Day made his debut for the Spurs' first-team, going on to make 14 appearances in all competitions. The form of fellow-Welshman Tom Evans at right half prevented Day from becoming a regular in the Spurs' side, with nine of his League appearances coming in the 1934–35 season at the end of which Spurs were relegated from Division One. Despite his limited first-team appearances, Day made 139 appearances in the reserves in London Combination matches. Day was described as "a calm, neat player who specialised in the ground pass rather than the cleared high ball",
