I was one of his biggest critics when he was with us. Well it's great to see how he has turned things around over the course of the last couple of seasons at Motherwell. I also don't think that it is a coincidence that he got married two years ago on what he still describes as being the best day in his life. A bit of stability.
Saw him on an episode of Undr the Cosh a while back. He was keen to mention his time with us despite the hosts seemingly happy to gloss over it. He suggested he would never have left CAFC until the club reneged on a contract extension and that he was never going to stay after that.

Glad we didn't waste any more money on him, unfit for the large part, more interested in gaming and films, and didn't actually deliver all that much on the pitch
There was an interview and mini feature on him before the Motherwell v Rangers game today. He seemed very happy with how things are going and acknowledged that his current manager had played a big part in getting the best out of him.
I do find it pleasing that someone with such obvious talent might be starting to finally achieve their full potential.
Joint top scorer in the SPL, if he can continue that form over the course of the season he might get a move to a bigger team (not the Old Firm, but maybe Hearts/Hibs/Aberdeen). That being said, he may be better off staying in an environment where he’s settled for the first time.

Have you got the link to this please? I've been through all of the back catalogue and can't find one with him...

Think it might have been the open goal podcast with Simon Ferry.

I've got a Patreon subscription and it can only be accessed via their app.
Surprisingly TW wasn't as interesting as I anticipated, but as you may well know ordinarily its ex-players now out of the game who feature, and they can therefore be a bit more candid i suppose.
I would however recommend subscribing if Undr the cosh is your thing as there are loads of additional interviews on there not available on YouTube. Ooh Gordon Watson being one if you're of a certain vintage.
As much as it pains me to give Jon the Beast Parkin more money for his next Chinese, I just love these podcasts so it's worth an extra £3 a month.
I have no doubt that if Tony had concentrated on football and not fallen out with everyone he met, he could have had a good career in the Premier League.
More raw talent than someone like Patrick Bamford, for example.

"Give me a man with half the talent but total commitment to improving over another who has double the ability but only half the will to improve"

Doesn’t work quite as well when you are buying people with less than a quarter of the talent even if they have 3 to 4 times the will to better themselves though unfortunately. God knows we’ve tried both

Did he actually fall out with anyone or was he just a victim of 'the network'?
He always comes across as a nice lad. Very glad to see him doing well.

At 27, Magic feet Tony could still have a decent career even if it's in the mediocre Scottish premier.
Tony has to be at full fitness to compete.
Well done Tony
I expected him to continue drifting from club to club while falling down the leagues before retiring early.
He’s not going to reach the potential he had but he’s at least having a solid career. Will be interesting to see how he does over the next few years.
