Anthony Grant (born June 4, 1987) is a professional English football player, who is currently on loan to Wycombe Wanderers from Chelsea. He made his debut against Manchester United in May 2005, coming on as a last minute substitute for Joe Cole in Chelsea's 3-1 win. While little has been seen of the 19 year old defensive midfielder, one challenge during his debut at Old Trafford indicated that his grooming to take over from Claude Makélélé is well on course. Grant, nicknamed 'The Judge', will be looking to impress in the reserves to earn a place in the English Champions' first team during the 2005/06 season, for which he has been allocated the squad number 42. In January 2006, Grant was loaned to League One club Oldham Athletic.
[edit] 2006-2007
Grant was signed by Wycombe Wanderers on a season long loan deal by manager Paul Lambert who previously tried to sign the starlet during his stint at Livingston a year earlier. From an early age he has been renowned for his hard tackling and this resulted in the first sending off in his senior career in the Chairboys' 1-0 defeat to Notts County. On the 23rd March 2007 it was revealed that Chelsea F.C. have offered Grant a new contract.
