Tony Battersby is a footballer who plays as a striker with Stamford. Battersby is one of football's journeymen and has played for many clubs both league and non-league.
Battersby started his career at Sheffield United, later moving to Notts County, Bury and Lincoln City, before dropping into non-league. Most recently, following a short spell at Ryman League Premier Division side AFC Wimbledon, Battersby joined Chelmsford City and is now on loan to Welling United until the end of the 2006-07 season.
In the summer of 1995 Battersby joined Finnish second division club BK-IFK (now Vasa IFK) on loan, scoring 24 goals in just 18 appearances for the Vasa club. He attracted the attention of the Premier League-team VPS Vaasa with his performances with the city rivals BK-IFK, but no deal was ever to be as Battersby returned to Sheffield United in the autumn.
