Tony Craig: Ex-Millwall and Brentford defender retires aged 40

His Millwall career ended when he left on a free transfer in February 2018 for Bristol Rovers before a three-year spell at Crawley Town and three more at Dorking.
He has also gone into coaching and is currently working with Millwall’s academy sides having also trained young players while he was at Bristol Rovers.
“I am so proud of what Tony has achieved in his career, and feel privileged that we are able to recognise what has been an outstanding contribution to the game,” Dorking manager Marc White told the club website.
“Tony is old school, a consummate professional, fitter in his 40s than people half his age and has ultimately finished his career playing against players that could only dream of what Tony has achieved.
“A fan’s favourite at every club he has played for due to his unwavering will to win, Tony is an example to all young footballers.”
Craig told Millwall’s website:, external “To the Millwall family, today is one of the hardest days of my life, in which I have decided to hang up my boots.
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have played for the club I love; from sitting in the Cold Blow Lane end to the greatest honour of all, captaining the team to a play-off win at Wembley. When you’re a young boy, everyone dreams of playing there and walking up the steps is something that my family and I will cherish forever.
“I have had the privilege of playing with some outstanding players and working with some brilliant managers throughout my time. I can’t thank the supporters enough for their unwavering backing over the years and – of course – the Berylson family for everything they have done.”
