Colin Calderwood Played as defender (and sometimes midfielder) at Tottenham from and moved to Aston Villa for a short time.
Jimmy Cantrell -
Billy Cook -
Peter Crouch A Spurs junior, Crouch moved around and spent time at Villa Park before returning to Spurs under Harry Redknapp.

James Gray -
Steve Hodge -
Peter Kyle -
Oyvind Leonhardsen Norwegian midfielder who starred for Tottenham from 1999-2002, before a spell at Villa which saw him fall out of favour after a change in management.
Ernie Phypers An amateur with Villa from September 1932 until May 1933, when he was offered a contract with Tottenham, signing professional in June 1934.  Ernie played 28 first team league games and three in the FA Cup up to March 1937 when he joined Doncaster Rovers.  Phypers also guested for Clapton Orient, Southend United and West Ham United during the war.
Andy Ralston A First World War guest who played 100 times for Spurs between October 1915 and March 1919, was on Villa's books too.  The Scot signed as an amateur for Villa in 1902, but the war robbed him of his chances to make a career there.
