Big Chiv had great success at White Hart Lane, although not always the player Bill Nicholson expected him to be, but won two League Cups and a UEFA Cup, hitting 174 goals in 365 appearances before leaving for Swiss club Servette for £80,000 in July 1976. |
| . | |
| George Clawley | Goalkeeper in the early days of both clubs, George Clawley won the Southern League in 1896-1897 and 1897-1898 as captain for Southampton having joined from Stoke in 1896.

Broke his leg soon after the move and missed the whole season, but returned to the fine and showed good form that took Spurs to the FA Cup final, winning after a replay when a save he made by pushing the ball around the post in the first game was wrongly awarded as a goal. Left Tottenham in 1903 after 92 appearances to re-join Southampton with whom he won the Southern League again in 1904. Retired in 1907 after making another 121 appearances for the Saints. |

Left after 33 matches and 16 goals to join Aston Villa in July 2004, then on to Portsmouth, Liverpool and Portsmouth again before returning to Tottenham in July 2009 in a £10 million deal.

| Yago Falque | Nippy young winger that Spurs bought from Juventus as one for the future in 2012 (after initially joining on loan the year before). Was given five minutes in a Premier League match against Everton in 2012 as a sub before he went out on loan to Southampton, where he made one appearance between January and June 2012. A couple more Spanish loans followed before it was decided the move hadn’t worked out, so Spurs sold him to Genoa and he went on to play for AS Roma and Torino before moving to Colombia to play for Cali America. |
| . | |
| Paulo Gazzaniga | Argentine goalkeeper born in Murphy, the same town as Mauricio Pochettino, Paulo Gazzaniga left for Valencia at the age of 15.

Gave good service in his determined defending and scored three goals in 120 appearances in the Lillywhite shirt before he left to join Charlton Athletic in August 2003 for £100,000. Played for WBA and Luton Town after that, spending time on loan at Southampton from March 2008 to the end of the season, which was made permanent in that summer.

| Alf Ramsey | After an unsuccessful spell at Portsmouth as an amateur in 1940, he joined the Army and played for them in a friendly 3-10 defeat by Southampton. Ramsey had a good game and Saints signed him and he turned professional in 1944, initially used as a centre-forward and then moved to right-back, where he settled as a fixture in the side for two years, earning an England cap in late 1948. Dropped for not putting the manager’s offside tactics into action, Alf raised complaint about his continued presence in the reserves, which didn’t go down too well, so it was no surprise when he made a record £21,000 move to Tottenham with Ernie Jones moving to Southampton. His first season ended with the club winning the Second Division championship, with the First Division title won in the following season. When injury forced his retirement after matches and goals in , the time spent in the Tottenham team under the management of Arthur Rowe and in a team destined to produce some of the most innovative coaches of the era, it was no surprise that he went into coaching, eventually taking Ipswich Town to the second and First Division titles, then England to World Cup victory in 1966. |

Dean played 77 times for Saints and scored six goals, while making 81 appearances and scoring four goals. A dominating centre-half, who was adept at bringing the ball out from the back, it was a shock when he announced his retirement from the game in March 2003 as to continue could risk a brain haemorrhage. After a long illness he died on 26th February 2011 aged 36. |
