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.
