Born in Tamworth, Tony Coton played more than 500 games during a 16-year goalkeeping career with Birmingham City, Hereford United, Watford, Manchester City, Manchester United and Sunderland. After retiring in 1997 with a broken leg he joined Sunderland as a reserve-team manager, before moving to Manchester United a year later to become their first full-time goalkeeping coach. He has worked as a scout for numerous clubs and served briefly as assistant manager to Mick Harford at QPR. He is now head of recruitment at Aston Villa.
