Antony "Tony" Caig (born 11 April 1974) is an English football goalkeeper who is currently goalkeeping coach for Football League Two club Hartlepool United.
Caig made his name playing for Carlisle United from 1990 to 1998, some highlights of this time being the penalty saves in the LDV Vans Trophy at Wembley against Colchester United in 1997 and winning the 3rd division championship in 94/95 setting a then clean sheet record . However, in 1998 he was controversially allowed to leave by club owner Michael Knighton before the end-season transfer deadline. He had made 244 league and 40 cup appearances for the club. Caig's departure left Carlisle United without a permanent goalkeeper, circumstances which led to a famous goal by on-loan goalkeeper Jimmy Glass saving the club from relegation.
He then joined Blackpool on 25 March 1999 for a reported small fee of £40,000; he was able to establish himself as a regular in the first team, and won a place in the Carling Opta Division Two "Team of the Week" in October 1999. He made 49 league appearances and 12 cup apps in his two-year stint at Bloomfield Road, during which time he was sent on loan to Charlton Athletic, before signing for them permanently in 2001. However, he was to make just one premier league appearance for them before moving to Scotland later that same year to join Scottish Premier League (SPL) club Hibernian. Although not a regular starter and made 16 appearances in 18 months at the club.
