Who is Tony Gill?
Anthony Dean "Tony" Gill is an English former professional footballer who spent his entire, short-lived professional career with Manchester United.
Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Gill joined Manchester United as an apprentice in June 1984, and turned professional on his 18th birthday in March 1986. His first team debut for the club came 10 months later, when he stood in for Bryan Robson in a 1–1 draw away to Southampton on 3 January 1987. However, he was then diagnosed with problems with his Achilles tendon and it took two operations before he could return to first team action nearly two years later. In fact, he did not play at all between January and August 1988.
Upon his return to the first team, Gill became an established member of the squad, playing in various roles in both defence and midfield.
He scored twice for United at senior level; the first in the FA Cup third round replay against QPR at Loftus Road on 11 January 1989 – 10 days after a fine performance in the 3–1 home league win over rivals Liverpool. His next goal came three days after, on 14 January, in a 3–0 home win over Millwall in the league.
