His one season at Tolka Park was a huge success as Shels won the League of Ireland [2], Tony was named PFAI Young Player of the Year.[2] and a further two U21 caps came his way.
Tony completed a move across the channel to Millwall FC in 1992, scoring on his debut and picking up the Man of the Match award.
