Darren Carlton Annon (born 17 February 1972 in Chelsea, England) is an English retired professional footballer. He made appearances in the Football League for Brentford, but is probably best remembered for his long spells with non-league clubs Enfield, Farnborough Town and Margate.
A Winger, Annon began his career at Isthmian League Premier Division side Carshalton Athletic and made his debut in October 1992. He made a handful of appearances during the 1992–93 season and established himself during the 1993–94 season, scoring 10 goals and attracting interest from Football League clubs. Annon departed the club in March 1994.
Annon's form for Carshalton earned him a £20,000 move to Division Two side Brentford in March 1994. He made 9 appearances in what remained of the 1993–94 season and scored his first Bees goal in a 3–1 defeat to on 29 March. Annon made his first appearance of the 1994–95 season as a substitute for Lee Harvey in a 1–0 home defeat to Peterborough United on 20 August 1994. After featuring as an unused substitute in a 2–0 win over Rotherham United three games later, Annon found himself out of the first team squad until November, when Paul Stephenson suffered a double skull fracture in a match versus Bradford City on 2 November, which opened up a place in the team. Annon made his first start of the season in a Football League Trophy first round match against Gillingham on 8 November, crowning his return to the team with the opening goal in a 3–1 victory. He started in the following game, an FA Cup first round match away to Cambridge United and scored the opening goal in a 2–2 draw.
