Anthony Thomas (born August 30, 1982) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Farnborough.
His career began at Hemel Hempstead Town, where he scored 78 goals in two seasons.[1] His first goal for Barnet came against Dagenham & Redbridge, and burst a hole in the side netting. He was loaned out to Cambridge City in October 2007, and was released at the end of the season.[2] Thomas then joined Stevenage Borough on May 17, 2008.[3] He struggled to make the first team and rejoined Hemel Hempstead Town after 11 appearances, scoring a brace in his first game against Yate Town. Thomas has one brother playing semi-professionally, Triston Thomas, who plays for Bedfont.
In February 2009, Thomas, and his partner, were banned from owning a dog for 10 years and given three-month sentences after neglecting and beating a puppy over a three-month period in 2007, leaving the seven-month-old puppy suffering a broken back, cracked ribs and severe bruising. Just one week earlier, Thomas was given a two-year conditional discharge at Snaresbrook Crown Court after being convicted of assault for beating up a motorist in a 2007 road rage attack.[4]
