Alton Anthony Thelwell (born 5 September 1980) is an English former footballer who played as a defender.
Thelwell was born in Islington, London. He began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, for whom he made twenty-one appearances in league and cup competitions. In the summer of 2000, IFK Hässleholm of the fourth-highest division in Sweden, sold Jon Jönsson to Tottenham for £70,000 and also agreed two loan deals for the Swedish club - that of Thelwell and Peter Crouch. He also won one England under-21 cap on 27 February 2001, as a substitute in the 4–0 defeat at home to Spain U21. However injuries robbed him of further first-team opportunities at Spurs, and he was released by then boss Glenn Hoddle in 2003.
Thelwell signed for Hull City on 13 June 2003 by manager Peter Taylor after being released from Tottenham. He scored on his debut against Darlington. Fitness problems blighted Thelwell's time at Hull City, and he missed over a year from October 2004 to February 2006 due to a serious knee injury. He signed a new short-term contract in January 2006, and after proving his fitness and featuring in nine of City's last thirteen games of the 2005–06 season, Thelwell was rewarded with a further year's contract extension.
Finding his first team opportunities at the KC Stadium limited, he joined Leyton Orient on loan in October 2006, making his debut in the League One fixture against Cheltenham Town on 21 October 2006, Orient winning 2–0.
