Anthony Pennock (born 10 April 1971 in Swansea) is a Welsh non-league international goalkeeper.
He started his professional career at . Pennock made his senior debut playing for Wigan Athletic, in a 3rd round 1990–91 FA Cup tie against Coventry City. He went on to make 10 league appearances for Wigan before joining Hereford United in their Third Division days.
He added a further 15 league games before spending six years at Yeovil Town. In his second season, 1996–97 Yeovil were promoted back to the Conference from the Diadora Premier League, going on to have several successful FA Cup campaigns, beating several league teams over the next few seasons. In a replay at Huish Park against Cardiff City in January 1999, Pennock made an error which is often shown in sporting bloopers clips, rolling the ball forwards before intending to clear it downfield. Unfortunately, he rolled the ball too far forwards and was tackled by the Cardiff City striker and the ball rebounded into his net; it was the winning goal. Pennock redeemed himself in the second round in December 2000, with a magnificent performance as Yeovil won at Blackpool, a match televised on Sky.
Pennock then played five times in the league for Rushden & Diamonds having signed along with Yeovil teammate Warren Patmore in the summer of 2001 after Yeovil finished second in the Conference to Rushden. He then signed on loan for Farnborough Town in February 2002, before making the move permanent in the 2002 close season and playing at Arsenal in the FA Cup. Pennock was critical of the methods of Farnborough's manager and owner, Graham Westley, and as a result was one of relatively few first choice players that did not leave Farnborough with Westley immediately after the Arsenal game.
