Anthony Mark "Tony" Gallimore (born 21 February 1972 in Nantwich) is an English former professional footballer who played as a left back from 1990 to 2007.
He began his career with Stoke City in 1990 and subsequently spent two separate loan spells with Carlisle United in 1991 and 1992. He joined United on a permanent deal a year later and went on to spend three years at Brunton Park before joining Grimsby Town in 1996. It was at Grimsby where he arguably played some of his best football, during the 1997–98 season the club earned promotion via the play-offs as well as a few weeks earlier being victorious in the Football League Trophy. He departed Grimsby in 2003 after spending seven seasons at Blundell Park, his next port of call was league rivals Barnsley where he remained for a year before joining Rochdale. Having spent two seasons with Dale, Gallimore dropped out of professional football and signed with non-league Northwich Victoria in 2006. He finished his seventeen-year career whilst on loan with Hucknall Town in 2007. During his career he made more than 500 appearances in the Football League.
After retiring Gallimore returned to live in Grimsby where he works as a scaffolder.
Gallimore joined Stoke City as a youngster and progressed into the club's first team setup in 1990 after several seasons in the youth system. He made his debut as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers towards the end of the 1989–90 season. He made seven appearances in 1990–91 and struggled to establish himself under Lou Macari in 1991–92 making just three appearances and was twice loaned out to Carlisle United in 1991 and again in 1992, making 8 appearances for Carlisle each time round.
