Frank Bentley	.

Garry Brooke	Went to Stoke on a loan spell.

Joe Brough	.

George Clawley	-.

Garth Crooks	Lightning quick forward in his day, he had scored regularly for Stoke City before coming to Spurs in 1980 for £650,000 to form a formidable partnership with Steve Archibald in a successful period for Tottenham.

Peter Crouch	Tall striker, who did well for Spurs as a first team player when signed in 2009, but fell out of favour and was sold on to the Potters in the summer of 2012. Was also with Spurs as a junior, before being allowed to join QPR.

Matthew Etherington	Flighty winger, who joined Spurs from Peterborough United, but never fulfilled his promise and left to join a bigger club in West Ham United, before ending up at the Britannia Stadium.

Ray Evans	A product of the Spurs youth system, Edmonton born Ray was a solid full back, who was part of the Tottenham team in the early 1970s before he fell out of favour and was sold to the Potters in 1975, where he was a regular in the team.

Ken Hancock	Started his goalkeeping career at Stoke City as an amateur.

Billy Leech	-.

Ian Moores	Tall striker who was not the most elegant, but scored his fair share of goals for Stoke and impressed enough for Tottenham to sign him up in 1976.

Gerard McMahon	Young winger, who was highly regarded, but didn't get much of a chance at Spurs, so moved to Stoke City in the early 1990s.

James Morton	-.

Wilson Palacios	Honduran international midfielder who Spurs signed from Wigan Athletic in 2009 and stayed for a couple of seasons, making his physical presence felt in midfield before he moved on to Stoke in 2011, following Tottenham's signing of Scott Parker.

Tony Parks	Played 49 matches for Tottenham including the 1984 UEFA Cup final, which was his career highlight - saving penalties in the shoot out after the game ended all square. Moved around after that and spent a spell at Stoke City.

Jimmy Robertson	Flighty winger, who joined Spurs from Arsenal and left for Ipswich Town, later played for Stoke City in the early 1970s.

Paul Stewart	Striker turned midfielder, who Spurs signed from Manchester City found his way to Stoke City on loan after Spurs sold him to Liverpool.
