Tony Craig Biography

Tony Craig is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 20, 1985 in Greenwich, Greenwich, United Kingdom. Tony Andrew Craig (born 20 April 1985) is an English professional football central defender who plays for Bristol Rovers. He began his career at Millwall and made over 320 appearances across four spells with the club.

On 27 June 2007, Craig joined Championship club Crystal Palace on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He had a successful start to his Palace career, starting in 13 of the Eagles’ opening 14 games, but a shoulder injury suffered in a 0–0 draw with Scunthorpe United on 3 November 2007 put him out of action for the next four months. Upon his return to fitness, Craig failed to regain his place under new manager Neil Warnock and departed Selhurst Park in July 2008.

Craig returned to Millwall, still in League One, on a one-month loan on 27 March 2008. He made five appearances and scored against Carlisle United in the final match of his spell, before returning to Crystal Palace on 27 April.

Craig was in and out of the team during the 2009–10 season and could not hold down a regular place until December 2009. In the absence of Paul Robinson, Craig took over the captaincy. Craig was hit by injuries twice during the season, first he suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye socket in a defeat to Wycombe Wanderers on 21 November 2009 and later a foot injury against Huddersfield Town in April 2010. He made 35 appearances and scored two goals to help Millwall to the play-off Final for the second season in succession. In the 2010 League One play-off Final, the Lions were triumphant and defeated Swindon Town 1–0 to return to the Championship after three seasons in League One, though Craig was forced off with a broken metatarsal on 44 minutes.

Under new manager Colin Lee, Craig made sporadic appearances during the opening two months of the 2005–06 season, before cementing a regular place in the team in late 2005 under replacement manager Dave Tuttle. Two red cards failed to halt his progress and Craig finished the 2005–06 season with 33 appearances, but he would begin the 2006–07 season in League One after Millwall’s relegation. Craig had a suspension and injury-affect first half of the 2006–07 season, but was a regular pick after the New Year and finished the campaign with 32 appearances and one goal, which was scored on the final day versus Bradford City. Craig departed the club in June 2007, having made 87 appearances and scored two goals in his four years as a first team player.

Born in Greenwich, London, Craig came through the youth ranks at Millwall. Adept as a central defender or a left back, he received his maiden call into the first team squad for a First Division league match against Bradford City on 5 April 2003 and was an unused substitute during the 1–0 win. Craig made his professional debut with a starting appearance in a 3–3 draw with Nottingham Forest on 26 April 2003 and lasted 67 minutes before being substituted for Robbie Ryan. He started in the final game of the 2002–03 season at home to Coventry City and scored the first senior goal of his career in the 2–0 win, with the opener on 51 minutes. Craig began the 2003–04 season as a virtual ever-present, making 10 appearances, but he dropped out of the squad entirely in October 2003. He was again out of favour with manager Dennis Wise during the 2004–05 season and had to wait until 19 February 2005 for his first appearance, which came with a start in a 1–0 defeat to Stoke City and he finished the campaign with 10 appearances.

Craig joined League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on a one-month loan on 22 October 2004, which was later extended to 22 January 2005. He made 18 appearances for the Chairboys.

Craig signed permanently for the second time with Millwall on 11 July 2008, on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He made a personal-best 52 appearances during the 2008–09 season, scoring two goals and helping Millwall to a place at Wembley Stadium for the 2009 League One play-off Final versus Scunthorpe United. Goals from Gary Alexander put the Lions 2–1 ahead, but the season ended in heartbreak for Craig after second half strikes from Matt Sparrow and Martyn Woolford sent Scunthorpe to the Championship.
