Tony Gale is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on November 19, 1959 in Pimlico, Pimlico, United Kingdom. Anthony Peter Gale (born 19 November 1959) is an English former professional footballer who is now a regular pundit on Soccer Saturday and Sky Sports News. He is also the chairman of non-league club Walton Casuals.
Gale narrowly missed out on promotion to the First Division during the 1982–83 season, with Fulham finishing in fourth place and a single point behind Leicester City. After a mid-table finish the following season, Gale opted for a move away from Craven Cottage in order to play in the First Division.
West Ham were promoted back to the First Division in 1991 at the second time of asking, but were relegated again after just one season back among the elite.
When playing in the 1991 FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, Gale became the first-ever footballer in the English game to be shown a straight red card for denying an attacker a goal-scoring opportunity with a professional foul. After bringing down Gary Crosby in the 22nd minute, Gale’s single career dismissal by Keith Hackett was deemed as unfair by West Ham fans as they suffered a 4–0 defeat to Forest and missed out on their chances of a first FA Cup final since 1980. It took the Hammers another 15 years before reaching the final once again.
Suffering relegation to the Third Division after a 20th-placed finish during the 1979–80 season, Gale bounced back to the Second Division two years later. A dispute with manager Malcolm MacDonald saw Gale suspended shortly after the start of the season, but he returned to the first team set-up shortly after to make 44 league appearances as Fulham gained promotion back to the second tier.

Making his debut for the first team aged 16 in the Anglo-Scottish Cup against Orient, he was drafted in to the senior squad to replace World Cup winning Bobby Moore following his retirement from English football. Recording 38 league appearances and eight goals in his inaugural season, Gale cemented his place in the squad during their time in the Second Division.
As a player, he made 636 appearances as a defender from 1977 until 1998, winning the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers in 1995. He also played for Fulham, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Maidenhead United.
In July 1984, Gale completed a £200,000 transfer to West Ham United, and went on to make 300 league appearances over a decade. Finishing 16th in his first season with the club, Gale was part of the side to finish third in the First Division in 1986 while forming a notable partnership with Alvin Martin. He spent all but one season in mid-table before West Ham’s relegation to the Second Division following the 1988–89 season.
