Anthony "Tony" Thorpe (born 10 April 1974 in Leicester, England) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker. He notably played for Luton Town, Bristol City and Queens Park Rangers. He also played in the Football League for Reading, Rotherham United, Swindon Town, Colchester United and Grimsby Town. In the Non-League game he has previously appeared for Stevenage Borough, Tamworth, Barton Rovers, Woking, Brackley Town, Stamford and Halesowen Town, where he also had a brief spell as player/manager.
Thorpe began his career at Leicester City, but he was transferred to Luton Town in August 1992. During his time at Luton he switched from attacking-midfielder to striker, with outstanding success. He scored 28 league goals in the 1996–97 season, and soon a move to Fulham was completed. His time at Craven Cottage was short and he joined Bristol City in the summer of 1998. He took time to adapt as Ashton Gate, and he was then sent out on loan to Reading and back to Luton twice. He eventually found form in Bristol, before he re-joined Luton on a Bosman free transfer in 2002.
