Tony was a YTS lad. I only remember him from the pre-season games in the summer of 92 , a curly-haired lad with something of a swagger waving to the girls in the crowd. Unfortunately we never got to see whether or not he could do it on the pitch as his career consisted of 10 long-forgotten minutes as a sub for Steve Whitehall at home to Doncaster in November 1992. Then obscurity came calling.

ReplyDeleteJust stumbled upon this site recently. Antony went on to become a local legend both on and off the pitch back in his hometown of Huddersfield. He developed asthma during his time at Rochdale and fell out of love with the game for a while. He eventually ended up playing at semi-pro level and scoring a bucketload of goals for many seasons across West Yorkshire. He won a number of team honours and personal accolades. He has continued to coach and manage at local level and he has developed a reputation as a knowledgeable and passionate coach. He never realised the potential his talent deserved and his short lived career at Rochdale surprised a few as he had been courted by a host of top clubs before signing in 1991. Antony still watches Rochdale every now and then talks fondly of his time there.
ReplyDeleteCheers RW. Which non-league teams did he play for ?
