Where is Tony Cottee now?

One of the most prolific goalscorers of the 1980’s and 1990’s, Tony Cottee retired from playing in 2001 after a brief spell playing in the lower-league with Millwall.

Starting his professional career in 1982 at West Ham United, he went onto make over 700 first-team appearances over a 19-year period for eight clubs including Everton where he was an FA Cup runner-up in 1989 and Leicester City where he won the League Cup in 2000.

On the international scene he represented the England national side on seven occasions between 1986 and 1989.

Upon retiring from playing Cottee moved into the broadcasting world and worked as a commentator and pundit for Sky Sports on their Soccer Saturday Show for 20 years before leaving after a revamp of presenters in July 2021.

He also spent time working in PR for his father’s insurance firm for a few years and now also works as a PR consultant and ambassador for construction industry supplier Rudridge.

Cottee is also a popular figure on the after-dinner speaking circuit where he entertains fans with amusing anecdotes about his long playing career.
