Tony Grealish (born 21 September 1956) is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He represented the Republic of Ireland 45 times, through his Irish ancestry.
Grealish was born in Paddington, London.
He made his international debut on 24 March 1976 in a 3-0 win against Norway and his final appearance came in a 4-1 World Cup qualifier defeat against Denmark on 13 November 1985.
Having played both soccer and Gaelic football as a teenager, he made his league debut for Leyton Orient in 1974 and finished his playing career at Walsall in 1992.
In between he also played for Luton Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City and Rotherham United.
He captained Brighton in the 1983 FA Cup Final. The opponents were Manchester United and, after a drawn final at Wembley, Brighton lost the replay 4-0.
Since hanging up his boots, Grealish has dabbled in management at non-league level with Bromsgrove Rovers and Atherstone United.
