Eddie Gray picked this centre-back from non-league obscurity and
although he played a few games for Leeds, he never quite made it as
a regular. He played 5 games with Doncaster Rovers on loan before
making the move permanenent and going on to become Rovers' captain
in a two year spell at Belle Vue.
Cheers to Rochdale's programme editor Mark Wilbraham for the
photo.
Martin says: Worked with Tony Brown at Royal London Insurance
circa 1992. He became a financial adviser but left to pursue other
areas soon after. He was a nice guy and I believe Dennis Irwin of
MAN U is one of his close pals, oh well I suppose Dennis is about
the best of a bad lot. Where r u now TONY! do you remember me..

ever seen play at centre half. I was extremely upset when we sold
him to Doncaster, where he proved himself as an extremely capable
player.
Cian Armitage says: Cian loves you, Tony!
Nicky Walker says: Tony Brown was the most underated center half
that has ever played for Leeds. He was absolutely fantastic for the
club and i was really upset to see him sold to Doncaster!

Steven Dresser says: Tone had everything- awareness, great
tackler, great header, not the fastest but could read the game
perfectly. He's currently managing Eccleshill United in Bradford,
he's doing v.well! Dennis Irwin used to clean his boots, he
shouldn't have got past that stage!
chris bizzell says: he was a dogs bollocks of a defender!
Marinus Van Kerckhoven says: Tony is one of the greatest players
in Rochdale history. Leeds, Doncaster and scunthorpe all made the
mistake of lettin him go. Rochdale benefitted for 4 great years. He
was part of the most famous Rochdale side in history when they got
2 the quarters of the F.A Cup and lost to palace + Do You Vont
Cheese?

he's recently shaved his moustache off so dosn't get recognised as

footballer, i think he really misses it.

Park Avenue manager after Trevor Storton's resignation. Watch this

Graham Lofthouse says: My Big Bruvver knows Tony Brown. I think
that Tony Brown should now take over as Manager of the mighty
Leeds, providing that Leeds can afford to pay the mighty Eccleshill
United enuf compensation. (Which is doubtfull)
