Anton Rogan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Rogan (born March 25, 1966 in Lenadoon, west Belfast, Northern Ireland) began his footballing career playing for Distillery before achieving his boyhood dream of playing for Celtic in 1988. He was usually played at left full back or left side center half. In 1988 he was part of Celtic's Centenary side that won the League and Cup Double.

He transferred to Sunderland in 1991 for two years. He played for Sunderland in the 1992 FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool. The following season he moved to Oxford United - again for two years. In 1997, he transferred to Millwall and left them for Blackpool in 1999.

The latter part of his career was hampered by hamstring injuries and it was discovered that two broken leg injuries early in his career were the root cause of these set-backs.

In his youth he had played junior football for Donegal Celtic and gaelic football for St Paul's.

He now lives in Oxford, with a wife and two sons, has retired from football and now works for the Oxford City Council.
