Anthony Allen (born 1 September 1986, Southampton) is a former English rugby union player. He played in the English Premiership for Leicester Tigers as a centre before his retirement due to injury.
In his early life, he played his rugby at Trojans R.F.C in Hampshire. Then, in 1999 Allen toured South Africa with the South England School Boys side, Beating Natal 20–22. In the middle of the tour Allen was hospitalised with food poisoning, missing the end of the Tour. In 2000 Allen Won the Hampshire Cup with the Trojans Under 13 side, whilst attending Boundary Oak School at Roche Court, just outside Fareham. From there he moved on to Clayesmore School at the age of 13, where he was a member of Devine House. He was a member of the Clayesmore 1st XVs from year 11, effectively playing two years above his age-group.
In 2005, Allen joined Gloucester straight from Millfield School. At the start of the season, Allen helped Gloucester to triumph in the Middlesex 7s with some fantastic tries. He made his first team debut in Gloucester's Anglo Welsh Cup match against Bristol, which Gloucester won 34–6. Allen scored his first try for Gloucester in their 106–3 demolition of Bucuresti. His first Guinness Premiership try came 2 weeks later against Leicester at Welford Road. A glorious try against Worcester Warriors helped Gloucester to the European Challenge Cup Final. During his first season with Gloucester, Allen summed up his tremendous talent with a glorious brace of tries against London Wasps. He also played an important role in the defeat of London Irish in the European Challenge Cup Final.
