Alf Day

Alfred Day (2 October 1907 – 15 November 1997)[1] was a Welsh professional footballer who played at wing half for Tottenham Hotspur, Millwall, Southampton, Tranmere Rovers, Swindon Town[2] in the 1930s and represented Wales at international level on one occasion.

In May 1931,[4] he signed for Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee, being "farmed out" to the Spurs' nursery team Northfleet United,[5] where he joined his former Ebbw Vale colleague, Eugene "Taffy" O'Callaghan.

Turner mentioned that he had a promising reserve half-back who he believed was Welsh, leading to Day being capped before having appeared in League football.

He made his debut for Swindon at home to Aldershot on 2 September, the day before World War II was declared.

[7] During the war he was a telephone operator in the Royal Air Force,[6] but appeared as a guest for Brighton & Hove Albion, Lincoln City, Ipswich Town and Reading.
