About Tony Daley

Born 1967. Tony Daley is a British association football player and association football coach.

International career Daley was first called up to the England squad for a friendly against Czechoslovakia in April 1990. Despite not playing, nor making the final squad for the World Cup, his presence in that England camp meant he was featured in the World in Motion music video. The 24-year-old Daley debuted for England v Poland in Euro 1992 qualifying Group 7. Daley was capped seven times for England between 1991 and 1992 under former club manager Graham Taylor. He made his full debut as a substitute in a vital 1–1 draw in Poland on 13 November 1991 that saw England qualify for 1992 European Championships in Sweden. He was subsequently chosen for the squad at the tournament and played in two of England's three games there, but after the tournament he never played for England again.

Fitness coaching Upon finishing his career in professional football due to persistent injury, Daley completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Sports and Exercise Science at Coventry University. During this time, he also remained at Forest Green Rovers as their fitness coach and worked with youth players at Aston Villa's academy.

Following his studies, he joined Sheffield United as a fitness and conditioning coach in June 2003 but later quit his post following a row with new manager Bryan Robson on 30 August 2007. He was not out of work for long as he joined former club Wolves in the same role the following month. He remained at Wolves in this role for almost ten years before leaving in May 2017.

In 1995, Daley was the subject of a half-hour documentary. The series Respect was produced and directed by Pogus Caesar for Carlton TV, and featured the likes of Dwight Yorke, John Barnes and Ron Atkinson all paying tribute to the winger.

In March 2020, Daley joined the Lion's Den Gym, Bassett's Pole, as a personal trainer.
