Tony Kellow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tony Kellow (born May 1, 1952 in Falmouth, United Kingdom) was a professional footballer, most notably with Exeter City.

A centre-forward, he signed for Exeter City from Falmouth Town in 1976, and was sold to Blackpool, in November 1978, for £105,000. He returned to Exeter in March 1980 for a second spell, and joined Plymouth Argyle in 1983. Brief spells with Swansea City and Newport County followed before a return for a third spell with Exeter which ended in 1988.

He is regarded by fans as one of Exeter's all-time greats, associated with the club's most successful spell in the old Third Division and a famous run to the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1981. He scored a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Leicester City.

In recent years he has worked as commercial manager at Exeter City.

Tony is passionate Cornishman and is Vice Chairman of the Cornwall Commonwealth Games Association which is campaigning to have a team from Cornwall at future Commonwealth Games, as opposed to competing in the England team.
