champers Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) For disparaging African players. Is this the same Tony Henry that played for City, Bolton and Oldham? Wikipedia doesn't help. He has lost his hair and the Brotherhood of Man tache, but looks like the same bloke. I remember him playing for Bolton v Newcastle in the early eighties in Division 2 and scoring 2 goals as we beat them 3-1. Keegan was in the Newcastle team and possibly Waddle as well. 10,000 Geordies left Burnden in tears. Edited February 3, 2018 by champers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes it's the same guy champers From wiki:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Henry_(footballer,_born_1957 After his retirement from football, Henry continued to work within the game as a scout. He was chief scout at Chelsea, Sunderland and then Everton, before taking up the role of Director of Player Recruitment at West Ham United in 2014.

When I looked 2 days ago Wikipedia only had his playing details. Perhaps recent events have led to an update. If he has been at West Ham since 2014, he must be responsible for bringing in so many Aficans. That said, Big Sam always had a liking for African players. He thought they were good value for money.
