Anthony (Tony) Philliskirk (born February 10 1965 in Sunderland) was a former English footballer. He played as a striker for 11 different clubs between 1983 and 1998.

Playing career

Philliskirk turned professional at the age of 18, when he joined Sheffield United. He made his debut for the Blades in a pre-season friendly against Mansfield Town at Field Mill on August 17, 1983. He had to wait until October 18, 1983, before making his league debut for Sheffield United against Brentford at Griffin Park.

He scored his first goal for the club two weeks later at Plymouth Argyle. He scored eight goals in his first season with Sheffield United. Most of his time at Bramall Lane was spent as a partner of striker Keith Edwards.

He was part of the Sheffield United side which won promotion from the Third Division in season 1983-84. In total he made 80 league appearances (18 as a subsititute) for Sheffield United scoring 20 goals.Cite web|url=http://www.allfootballers.com|title=Since 1988 Football League Database| accessyear=2007|accessmonthday=November 18| publisher=since1888.co.uk| author=since1888.co.uk]

After five years at Bramall Lane, he had brief spells with Oldham Athletic and Preston North End before joining Bolton Wanderers in the June 1989 for a fee of £50,000. He made his debut for Bolton on August 19, 1989 in a Third Division match against Cardiff City at Ninian Park, and he soon formed an effective striking partnership with David Reeves.

Philliskirk moved on to Peterborough United in October, 1992, and then had spells with Burnley, Cardiff City, Halifax Town and Macclesfield Town before hanging up his boots in 1998.

Refereeing career

He also spent a couple of years as a referee towards the end of his playing days. Philliskirk was one of 15 players who accepted a training offer in 1996 as part of a PFA scheme to encourage more former professionals to take up the whistle. He progressed as far as the Northern Premier League.

Coaching career

In 1998, team manager Andy Ritchie offered him the youth coaching job at Oldham Athletic.

He became assistant manager at Oldham Athletic until December 2003, when his team manager Iain Dowie was tempted away by Crystal Palace. Dowie wanted to take his assistant with him, but Philliskirk turned down the offer for personal reasons.

During the 2004–05 season, Philliskirk was manager for one game but lost 2–1 to Huddersfield Town. He stayed at Boundary Park, where he is now Oldham's youth coach, a role he initially filled for four years before becoming Dowie's assistant in 2002.
