Christopher Nicholas Day (born 28 July 1975) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Day began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, spending five years with the club, during which he made four UEFA Intertoto Cup appearances. He joined Crystal Palace for a fee of £225,000 in July 1996 and played regularly during the first half of the 1996–97 season. The following season, he signed for Watford, where he spent four seasons and made 11 Premier League appearances during the 1999–2000 season. In his final season at the club, he had a three-month loan spell at Lincoln City. After leaving Watford in 2001, Day joined Queens Park Rangers, making 100 appearances over three and a half years and also having brief loans at Aylesbury United and Preston North End.
He moved to Oldham Athletic ahead of the 2005–06 season and then joined Millwall a year later. In August 2008, Day signed for Stevenage Borough, where he made 361 appearances over a decade. His spell included winning the FA Trophy in 2009 in his first season, followed by back-to-back promotions from the Conference Premier to League One. In May 2016, he combined his playing duties with the role of goalkeeping coach. He left Stevenage in July 2018, marking his retirement from professional football. Internationally, Day represented England at under-18 level eight times, winning the 1993 UEFA European Under-18 Championship, and also earned six caps for the England under-21 team between 1996 and 1997.
Born in Walthamstow, London, Day began playing as a striker for schoolboy team Ridgeway Rovers, playing alongside David Beckham and scoring 63 goals in one season. Due to his height, Day was later made the team's goalkeeper.
Day joined Tottenham Hotspur as a trainee and progressed through the club's youth system. Although he made no Premier League appearances during his four years there, he played in all four of Tottenham's 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup group matches, with the club fielding a team composed of loanees, youth, and reserve players. Tottenham recorded one win in the competition, a 2–1 away victory over Rudar Velenje. Day transferred to Crystal Palace in July 1996 for £225,000, making his Football League debut in a 1–0 defeat against Birmingham City at St Andrew's. He made 28 appearances during the first half of the 1996–97 season, but did not feature thereafter, having lost his place to Carlo Nash in January 1997.
Ahead of the 1997–98 season, Day joined Watford as part of a swap deal that saw Kevin Miller move to Crystal Palace. He made his debut in a 4–0 League Cup defeat away to Sheffield United, scoring an own goal in the first half, and made one further appearance that season in a 1–0 Football League Trophy defeat at Fulham on 9 December 1997. Day did not feature as Watford secured promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs, but received a winners' medal as an unused substitute in the final.
During the 1999–2000 season, Day made 11 Premier League appearances for Watford, starting in their opening match of the season against Wimbledon and keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on 14 August 1999. His final appearance for the club came in a 1–0 victory over Coventry City on 14 May 2000, after which the arrival of Espen Baardsen that summer saw him drop to third-choice goalkeeper. Midway through the 2000–01 season, Day joined Lincoln City on a three-month loan, making 18 appearances in all competitions for the club.
In July 2001, Day joined Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer following his release from Watford. He made his QPR debut in a 1–0 victory over Stoke City on 11 August 2001, and went on to make 18 appearances during the 2001–02 season. He was dropped in October 2001 after the arrival of Fraser Digby and shortly afterwards suffered a broken leg in a home match against Oldham Athletic following a challenge with striker Matthew Tipton. As part of his recovery, he was loaned to non-League club Aylesbury United in October 2002, and made 11 appearances during his two months there. Day returned to QPR's first team late in the 2002–03 season and remained first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of that campaign, including the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, where QPR were defeated 1–0 by Cardiff City.
