Encyclopedia
Anthony James Griffith is an English-born Montserrat
international
footballer who plays for League Two
side Port Vale
. He is also captain of his national team. He is noted as a tough tackling holding midfielder
, though at times this has led to him to having a poor disciplinary record.
Impressing at non-league Halifax Town
, he turned professional with Doncaster Rovers
in 2005. Used sparingly in 2005–06, he was loaned out to Oxford United
in March 2006, though did not make it onto the pitch. In 2006–07 he was loaned out to Darlington
and Stafford Rangers
, before he spent the 2007–08 campaign on loan at Halifax Town
. In April 2008 he signed with Port Vale, and became a first team regular in 2008–09. He remained a key first team figure in 2009–10 and 2010–11, and was voted the club's Player of the Year
in 2010.
, Fraizer Campbell
, and Reuben Noble-Lazarus
; who all went on to enjoy careers as professional players. Griffith and Jerome also played for Yorkshire Counties.
Griffith started his senior career at Halifax Town
as a sixteen year old. Impressing at the non-league side, he was snapped up by Doncaster Rovers
in 2005. However he never made it as a regular first team player at "Donny" and was instead loaned out to four lower league clubs over two years. On 21 March 2006, he joined Oxford United
on a month long loan. However he never made it onto the pitch for the League Two
side.
On 23 November 2007 he joined Darlington
, again of League Two, on another one month spell. He made for appearances for the club. He then spent three months with Conference
club Stafford Rangers
from 26 January 2007, making a total of twenty appearances. Despite only featuring in the first two rounds of the competition, he received a Football League Trophy
winners medal after Doncaster won the 2007 final
. He then spent the entire 2007–08 season on loan at former club Halifax Town. He made close to forty appearances before returning to Doncaster, where he was subsequently released.
Griffith was signed by Port Vale
manager Lee Sinnott
in April 2008. He spent much of the 2008–09
season at right-back
under new manager Dean Glover
. For the 2009–10
season, new manager Micky Adams
elected to return Griffith to the role of 'midfield enforcer'. He was transfer listed in late September, along with the entire Port Vale squad, after manager Micky Adams
saw his team slip to a third consecutive defeat. He remained in the first team however, and was playing in the form of his life under Adams, striking up a midfield pairing with Tommy Fraser
, who he also shared a house with. His committed performances made him "a darling of the terraces", though he also picked up fourteen yellow cards throughout the season. At the end of the season he was offered a two year contract, and was given the Player of the Year
, as well as the Official away travel Player of the Year awards. He duly signed the contract.
On 28 August 2010 Griffith scored from 25-yards at Vale Park
past Torquay United
's Scott Bevan
in a 2–1 reverse. The goal would prove to be more important to Griffith himself and the Torquay opposition than to his own club, the fine strike his first in the Football League
, and his first in Port Vale colours. It also ended the Gulls' run without conceding a league goal at the 998 minute mark, a club record but not a Football League record
. He started the season strongly, forming a solid midfield partnership with Gary Roberts
. Despite losing his place to Doug Loft
following an injury that kept him sidelined for a month, he returned to post 45 appearances in 2010–11
.
He retained his first team place at the start of the 2011–12
campaign, and refused to put his international career ahead of his club career. On 14 October, he marked his 150th appearance for the "Valiants" with his second Football League goal – a 35 yard strike past Northampton Town
. His good form caused assistant manager Mark Grew
to worry that other clubs at a higher level might wish to sign him.
area of Huddersfield
, but qualified for the Montserrat national side
through his Montserrat
-born father. He received his international call-up in June 2011 to compete in the nation's World Cup qualifying campaign
, despite never having visited the tiny island nation of 4,600 inhabitants. He was also appointed as team captain. Most of his teammates were amateur players. Before his call-up Montserrat had recorded only two victories in their 25 game history, both coming against Anguilla
in 1995. His debut came against Belize
, who beat Montserrat 5–2 at Ato Boldon Stadium
in Couva
, Trinidad and Tobago
on 15 June. The second leg was postponed over FIFA's concerns with the Belize
government, leaving the possibility of a bye for Montserrat. However the match was re-scheduled, and the Belize progressed with a 3–1 win (8–3 on aggregate).
.
In addition to his on-the-pitch skills, he is also considered to be a good character off of it. Micky Adams declared that: "he's a great character, a good bloke, and you can rely on him. If my daughter came home with him, I'd be delighted."
