They are linked with both
. | |
Clive Allen | Signed as a young striker from Arsenal, where he hadn’t played a game, in an exchange deal involving Kenny Sansom. Only at Selhurst Park for a season, scoring 9 goals in 25 games, before he left for QPR. Spurs signed him from there in 1984 and scored 113 goals in the 174 games he played in for the club. Departed in 1988 for Bordeaux for £1,000,000. |
. | |
Chris Armstrong | Moved across South London from Millwall to Palace in 1988. Scored well in a struggling Eagles team, but failed a drugs test and after rehabilitation, he signed for Spurs in 1995. Brought in to replace Jurgen Klinsmann, it was a tough ask, but the tall, pacy forward did score 75 times in 203 matches in his seven year stay at the Lane. Injuries took their toll and he moved to Bolton Wanderers in 2002. |
. | |
Dean Austin | Tenacious full back Dean Austin signed for Tottenham from Southend United in 1992 and played regularly under manager Terry Venables, making 182 appearances, before a broken leg and other players brought in squeezed him out. Leaving on a free transfer in 1998, Venables took him to Palace, where he stayed for four years before moving into coaching. |
. | |
Jimmy Bauchop | -. |
. | |
Eddie Birnie | -. |
. | |
John Bostock | Controversially moved to Spurs in 2008, much to the ire of Palace chairman Simon Jordan (who withdrew Bostock and his father’s season tickets). Had been Palace’s youngest ever player and secured the same record at Spurs, but never really settled and a series of loans did not work out, restricting him to just 10 appearances before being released in 2013, when he moved to Royal Antwerp in Belgium. |

John Brooks | -. |
. | |
Arthur Crompton | -. |
. | |
Bill Dodge | -. |
. | |
Dickie Dowsett | -. |
. | |
Terry Fenwick | Was part of Venables’ ‘Team of the 80s’ at Palace, having four years in the first team after winning the FA Youth Cup with the club. He followed Venables to QPR in 1980 and to Tottenham in 1987 (having scored against Spurs in the 1982 FA Cup Final). Played over 100 times for Spurs, but fans never really took to him. Unfortunately broke his leg in the warm up for an FA Cup tie at Portsmouth in 1991 and never really regained his place, leaving for Swindon Town in 1993. |
. | |
Zeki Fryers | A player Tottenham went to a lot of trouble to sign, but never realised his potential. Left Manchester United after turning down a contract, joining Standard Liege in the summer of 2012 after training with Tottenham, but compensation with United could not be agreed. A change of manager saw him out of the side and Spurs signed him in January 2013 to United’s anger. Only made 16 appearances before leaving for Palace in 2014. Played for the Eagles 14 times and left to sign for Barnsley in 2017. |
. | |
Johnny Gavin | -. |
. | |
Andy Gray | At Selhurst Park from 1984 to and 1989 to 1992, Gray played 242 times for Palace and scored 51 goals. On signing for Spurs on loan originally and then permanently, he played 33 matches scoring three times before leaving in 1994. |
. | |
Bob Hewitson | -. |
. | |
Charlie Hewitt | -. |
. | |
Phil Holder | Having only limited opportunities in the first team at Tottenham, their youth product midfielder Phil Holder left after making 19 appearances (mainly from the bench) and scoring twice to join Palace in 1975 playing over 100 games as a bustling midfielder before leaving in 1978, joining Bournemouth. Coached at Selhurst Park when he finished playing. |
. | |
Roger Hoy | A right back turned centre half who came through the ranks at Spurs, Hoy played 10 League matches and and made two European Cup Winners Cup appearances before signing for Palace in September 1968. Roger played 53 League games and scored seven goals. |
. | |
Archie Hughes | -. |
. | |
Rev. Kenneth Hunt | The only ordained minister to play for England, the half back made 15 appearances for Palace between 1912 and 1914. Hunt played one game at centre half for Spurs as a guest during World War I, but the match was abandoned after 40 minutes because of fog. He returned to play for Crystal Palace after the war until 1920. |
. | |
Steffen Iversen | Norwegian striker Spurs bought from Rosenborg for £2.3 million, he struggled with injuries, but scored 47 goals in 177 games played for the club during his seven year stay. Left to join Wolves in 2003, returning to Norway before signing for Crystal Palace in January 2011 and scored a couple of goals in 23 games before being released in January 2012. |
. | |
Chris Jones | Recommended by former striker Len Duquemin, Chris Jones journeyed from Jersey to Spurs in 1973 and netted 42 times in 185 appearances even though not a regular. Moved to Manchester City in 1982, but played only three games before joining Palace the same year, in a short stay of 10 months appearing 18 times and scoring three times. Left for Charlton Athletic and finished his career at Orient. |
. | |
Nya Kirby | Youngster developed by Spurs, who wanted a move to Chelsea and it looked a done deal, but suddenly he was at Selhurst Park with Palace. Midfielder had not appeared for the Eagles before going on loan to Blackpool and Tranmere Rovers before he was released in the summer of 2021, signing for Oxford City in August 2023 as they started their first season in the National League. |
. | |
John Lacy | Signed by Spurs for Fulham in 1978 on their return to the First Division, John Lacy became the first player to have his fee fixed by a transfer tribunal. Featured in 132 games and chipped in with three goals before he moved to the Eagles in 1983, but injuries restricted him to about 30 appearances in 15 months, leading to him moving to Stockholm to play his football. Returned to play non-league until he turned 40. |

. | |
Neil Ruddock | Signed from Millwall as a teenager in 1986, Neil Ruddock was sold back to the Lions in 1988, who let him leave for Southampton after two appearances. Rebuilt his reputation as a hard tackling, ball-playing defender and re-signed by Tottenham in 1992 for a tribunal fee of £750,000. Played 58 times over the two spells, the latter lasting just over a season before he was sold to Liverpool for a quick profit at £2.5 million. Subsequently moved to West Ham and then to Palace in 2000 on a free, playing 20-odd games before ending his playing days at Swindon Town. |

Paul Stewart | Paul Stewart had developed a reputation for goal-scoring at Blackpool and Manchester City, who Tottenham signed him from in 1988 for £1.7 million. Venables turned him into a powerful midfielder, winning England caps and the FA Cup while at the club. Scored 37 goals in 171 appearances (one in the FA Cup Final) before Liverpool bought him for £2.3 million in 1992, but injuries blighted his time at Anfield and he spent a loan period at Crystal Palace in January 1994 scoring three goals in 18 games. |
