Alan Hutton (born 30 November 1984) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a right back.
Hutton started his career with Rangers, and won the league title in 2005. He moved to English football with Tottenham Hotspur in 2008, and helped them win the League Cup later that year. After a loan spell with Sunderland in 2010, Hutton joined Aston Villa in 2011. He initially struggled with Villa, and was loaned to Mallorca, Nottingham Forest and Bolton Wanderers. Hutton then enjoyed a renaissance with Villa, where his defensive exploits earned him the moniker "The Scottish Cafu".[6][7][8][9] He left the club after helping them win promotion back to the Premier League in 2019, making over 200 appearances for the club.
Hutton made 50 appearances for the Scotland national team between 2007 and 2016. He was also shortlisted for selection to the Great Britain Olympic football team for the London 2012 Olympics, but did not make the final squad.
