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.
