Tony Andrew Craig (born 20 April 1985) is an English professional football centre back who plays for Millwall. He began his career at Millwall and has made over 230 appearances across four spells with the club.
Born in Greenwich, London, Craig came through the youth ranks at Millwall. Adept as a centre back or a left back, Craig received his maiden call into the first team squad for a Division One league match against Bradford City on 5 April 2003. He was an unused substitute during the 1–0 win. Craig was an unused substitute for three of the following games and made his professional debut with a starting appearance in a 3–3 draw with Nottingham Forest on 26 April 2003. He lasted 67 minutes before being substituted for Robbie Ryan. He started in the final game of the 2002–03 season at home to Coventry City and scored the first senior goal of his career in the 2–0 win, opening the scoring on 51 minutes. Craig began the 2003–04 season as a virtual ever-present and completed his first 90 minutes for the club in a 0–0 draw with Stoke City on 26 August 2003. His final appearance of the season came in a 0–0 draw with Rotherham United on 11 October. Craig made 10 appearances during the 2003–04 season and scored no goals.
Craig began the 2004–05 season out of favour with manager Dennis Wise and had to wait until 19 February 2005 for his first appearance, which came with a start in a 1–0 league defeat to Stoke City. He appeared in 10 successive games for the Lions through to mid-April, which were his only appearances of the season. Under new manager Colin Lee, Craig made sporadic appearances during the opening two months of the 2005–06 season, before cementing a regular place in the team in late 2005 under new manager and former teammate Dave Tuttle. The first red card of his senior career in a 2–0 defeat to Reading on 17 December failed to halt Craig's progress. Craig received his second red card of the season for two bookable offences committed in a 1–1 draw with Ipswich Town on 11 March 2006. Craig made 33 appearances during the 2005–06 season and scored no goals as the Lions suffered relegation to League One.
