Bradley James Allen (born 13 September 1971) is an English former footballer who is currently an academy coach at Tottenham Hotspur.
As a player, Allen played as a forward from 1988 to 2004, making Premier League appearances for both Queens Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic. He also made Football League appearances for Colchester United, Grimsby Town, Peterborough United and Bristol Rovers. He represented England at under-21 level, earning eight caps and scoring two goals.
Born in Harold Wood, London, Allen began his career with Queens Park Rangers, where he signed professionally in 1988 during the tenure of Jim Smith, although Smith was replaced by Trevor Francis midway through Allen's first professional season. Over the coming years, he went from strength to strength and began to see regular runs in the first-team. During the inaugural Premier League season in 1992–93 season, Allen played six times and scored twice, once in a 1–1 draw with Chelsea in January 1993 and the winner during a 2–1 win against Aston Villa at Loftus Road in May 1993. On 20 November 1993, he scored a hat-trick in a 3–0 win against Everton.
