Tony Stokes was a product of the West Ham Youth set up and after signing his first professional contract in July 2005, joined the Diamonds on loan from at the age of nineteen on 6 January 2006. Although the loan period was initially for one month, this was extended to an end of season loan. Stokes had impressed in the centre of midfield, where he was playing as an attacking midfielder and could also play in attack. He returned back to West Ham United at the end of the season.

During the following season, he went on loan to Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2006, before spending two months with Stevenage Borough the following year in November 2007. He remained reserve team captain for West Ham on his return. On 19 February 2009, he went on loan to FC Ujpest of Hungary until the end of the season. After being released by the Hammers, he returned to the Hungarian side for the following season, returning to the UK in the summer of 2010. Tony joined newly promoted Ryman Premier side Concord Rangers on 20 July 2010. At the end of March 2012, he signed dual registration forms with Conference South side Dartford until the end of the season. He stayed with Concord Rangers until October 2015, when he made the short transfer to Canvey Island. He returned to Concord Rangers for a short spell before joining Bowers & Pitsea in the 2017-18 season. In early 2018 he joined Brentwood Town, and also played for Grays Athletic and Tilbury before joining Hullbridge Sports in October 2021. His Wikipedia page is here.

Stevenage Borough 2 Rushden & Diamonds 1

January 1, 2008 Leave a comment

Rushden & Diamonds were denied the victory their second half performance deserved by two late goals and a refereeing controversy at Broadhall Way. After a fairly tame first half, an excellent second half performance by the Diamonds should have been rewarded when a clear penalty was not seen by the Officials, but justice appeared to have been done when Michael Rankine gave the Diamonds the lead, but two late goals gave a surreal feel to the final scoreline.

Manager Hill reflected the busy Holiday period by again making several changes to the starting eleven, with Jon Challinor and Simeon Jackson only on the bench, and Martin Foster not featuring in the squad. This meant recalls for Lee Hales and Marcus Kelly after they sat out the Northwich game, with Lee Tomlin returning to partner Craig McAllister up front. This meant the line-up was similar to the team put out for the game versus Stevenage on Boxing Day, with McAllister for Jackson the only difference.

Boro manager Peter Taylor brought in Tyrone Berry for Daryl McMahon, and gave a start to recent signing Scott Laird, although there was no place in the squad for Ashley Westwood. John Martin had recovered from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the game at Altrincham.

On a dull afternoon at Broadhall Way, Diamonds kicked off towards the sparsely populated home end, with Andy Burgess playing in central midfield, with Lee Hales and Lee Tomlin sharing duties wide right. Diamonds had a couple of early attacks with Dean Howell getting forwards down the left. The only threat on goal in the first fifteen minutes came from a Phil Gulliver header from a free-kick which was narrowly wide.

For Stevenage their first really threatening attack came on 16 minutes when a loose ball across the field from Curtis Osano was quickly switched to the Stevenage right and their main threat Craig Dobson, whose dipping cross was headed backwards and away for a corner. The Diamonds defence had their hands full with Dobson and Morison at times, but Dean Howell was able to combine some excellent covering tackles with a couple of dangerous runs forwards.

On 34 minutes Lee Tomlin won the ball off Daryl McMahon on the half-way line and ran at the Boro defence, finding room to hit a powerful shot from 20 yards that was grasped at the second attempt by Julian.

This was perhaps Diamonds best chance of a half that was rather reminiscent of the Boxing Day stalemate, although the Diamonds did seem to present a greater attacking threat.

Half-time: Stevenage Borough 0 Rushden & Diamonds 0

Although the first half had been reasonably even, and fairly tame, the same couldn’t be said for the second. The Diamonds team inspired by Lee Tomlin’s attacking flair, backed by a solid defence and midfield took the game to their promotion seeking opponents. Those in yellow were constantly harrying their opponents into mistakes, and always willing to stretch for interceptions or run down any loose ball.

Right at the start of the half Lee Tomlin set the scene for his second half performance by winning a free kick on the edge of the area after being fouled by Mark Arber, but Lee Hales could only blast the free kick into the wall.

A succession of Diamonds attacks were the highlight of the first 30 minutes of the half, with Peter Taylor fielding his remaining two substitutes in an attempt to reverse the tide, and the Boro crowd venting their feelings towards the underperforming players.

Lee Tomlin was showing great confidence and touch, with a couple of sublime turns in the penalty box resulting in powerful shots that were unfortunately straight at Julian. Andy Burgess was tracking more out to the right, and he too was able to leave the Boro defence flailing with his touch and ball control. Marcus Kelly remained a threat with his pace on the right, and Curtis Woodhouse combined a battling performance in midfield with a number of runs through the middle, although his shooting was rather waywards, or like Tomlin’s, was well blocked by last ditch defending. The Diamonds were able to penetrate the Stevenage defence almost at will, with one great flick over his head by Tomlin finding Marcus Kelly in space in the area, and although he was closed down he passed to Osano, who completed the circle back to Tomlin whose shot was deflected for a corner.

Boro did have one dangerous attack during this period, and after a mistake by Osano and shot by Stuart Lewis, Daryl McMahon should have done better with a free shot that he could only drag across goal.

On 73 minutes came the major talking point of the game. Another great run by Tomlin after excellent control saw his shot deflected away for a corner. As Kelly’s corner came in it was deflected out towards the penalty spot where Wayne Hatswell was in space. His volley looked bound for the bottom left corner of the goal until a falling Barry Fuller cradled the ball with his arm against his body and then away from the goal. All the players looked at the referee, expecting him to award what appeared to be an inevitable penalty and red card, but he could only look across to his assistant on the right, who ought to have had a perfect view of the offence. For some reason the assistant failed to confirm what everyone had seen, so Mr Hopkins had to wave play on. The Diamonds bench of course were vocal in their protests as the Stevenage contingent could only keep a low profile.

Curtis Osano was also able to get forwards, and on one such run he beat three opponents as he cut inside and hit a left foot shot that

On the 83rd minute it looked like some justice was done, as Diamonds took the lead. Good work by Andy Burgess in central midfield found Marcus Kelly on the left, and he beat his man and hit a powerful shot that took a slight deflection on it’s way to Michael Rankine who slotted home from ten yards.

Manager Hill then took off the impressive Tomlin and replaced him with Jon Challinor in an attempt to seal the victory, as the travelling fans celebrated rather prematurely, and as was seen so many times in previous seasons, there was still time for things to go wrong for the Diamonds.

In the 89th minute Steve Morison picked up the ball on the right, held off his marker and hit a powerful shot that Bastock did well to parry, but the ball fell to substitute Zak Burke who had a simple chance to equalise.

As the fourth official signalled three minutes of added time, the Diamonds were suddenly under pressure for almost the first time in the half, and good work on the left involving Burke and McMahon saw Phil Gulliver bring down McMahon for a penalty as clear as the one the Diamonds had been denied. Mark Arber stepped up and netted easily. There was still time for a couple of Diamonds attacks that threatened a dramatic equaliser, but referee Hopkins brought the game to an end shortly afterwards.

Boro manager Peter Taylor confirmed shortly after the game that he thought that R&DFC deserved to win – although he didn’t see the "penalty" when Fuller handled, he felt R&DFC deserved to be 2 or 3 up before the late drama.

Once again the Diamonds have produced an excellent performance away from Nene Park – albeit with no reward. The result brought back memories of late turnarounds as far back as the Cheltenham game in 1999, and many others in the Tippett and Hunter reigns, yet the quality of performance in this game was a major consolation. They must now try to bring that level of performance back to Nene Park, starting with the visit of Salisbury City on Saturday.

Rushden & Diamonds had a touch of the Boxing Day blues as they were held to a stalemate by high-flying Stevenage in a match devoid of entertaining football for long periods. They may have some satisfaction from gaining a point, but the above average crowd were left wondering why it took until the 65th minute for Garry Hill to bring on Craig McAllister and finally produce football to keep them from their post-Christmas slumbers.

Manager Hill reflected the busy holiday period by making several changes to the starting eleven, with Jon Challinor, Craig McAllister and Martin Foster dropped to the bench, with Lee Hales getting his first league start, and Lee Tomlin partnering Simeon Jackson up front.

Stevenage manager Peter Taylor reverted to the majority of the players that had featured prior to the Setanta Trophy defeat at Woking, playing a 4-5-1 formation with Steve Morison up front.

As the cloud gathered over Nene Park to end a sunny winter afternoon Diamonds kicked off towards the Peter De Banke terrace, but it was the visiting side that had all of the early pressure, with a shot from Stuart Lewis bouncing just in front of Paul Bastock, who did well to spoon the ball over the bar for a corner.

A succession of corners followed, with Andy Burgess being guilty of trying to prevent the ball going out and only presenting Boro with a chance to get the ball back into a dangerous position. Diamonds were there own worst enemies at time, with several mix-ups in defence on the left resulting in further corners conceded.

There was little attacking threat from the Diamonds in the early stages, with no outlet down the middle other than the occasional run by Lee Tomlin, and one shot from the striker after good work by Lee Hales. Dean Howell and Marcus Kelly did combine well on the left on a couple of occasions, and in one attack created by a great crossfield ball by Andy Burgess, Kelly was able to burst into the area, but the threat was cleared away for a corner.

On 20 minutes Diamonds had a rare chance, with a Marcus Kelly free kick finding Andy Burgess who cut back onto his right foot, but could only hit a shot well over the bar. There was some decent link up play between Burgess and Osano at times, but too often these moves resulted in a high-ball to the diminutive strikers who were easily out-jumped by the tall Stevenage defenders.

On the half-hour Stevenage almost took the lead, as a long ball forward flew over the heads of Gulliver and Hatswell, but they were able to cover back as Steve Morison threatened, forcing him wide enough to allow Paul Bastock to make a decent save at his near post.

Bastock almost gave away a simple goal to Morison a few minutes later as he dwelt on a simple ball back to him, and it appeared more luck that judgement that his kick missed on oncoming striker and was scrambled away.

Perhaps the best Diamonds move of the half was on 33 minutes, as Andy Burgess gathered the ball in his own box following a Stevenage corner, carried the ball 10 yards and fed Lee Tomlin near the half-way line. The striker then ran at two defenders, getting the better of them and attempting to feed Simeon Jackson, but his strike partner was forced to check back and his final shot under pressure then went behind.

So the half ended with Stevenage perhaps the more disappointed that they were not ahead.

On the restart, Diamonds had a claim for a penalty within three minutes, as Lee Tomlin held the ball up and then laid it into the area for the onrushing Curtis Woodhouse, who appeared to be bodychecked by Luke Oliver, but referee Rayner waved away claims for a penalty.

Further controversy followed on 50 minutes, with Lee Hales putting in a great tackle to halt a run out of defence by Stuart Lewis. Lewis stayed down for a short while, but had got back to his feet before Alan Julian cleared the ball to touch to allow him to receive attention. On the restart, Lee Tomlin failed to realise that the throw was meant to be returned to Julian, and burst into the area, gaining a "corner". Julian and a number of team mates jostled Tomlin, who realised his mistake, but referee Rayner still decided to book Julian for his actions, and also Tomlin – although it was not clear why. The corner was duly kicked straight out for a goal kick.

Just after the hour came Stevenage’s best chance of the game, with Craig Dobson receiving the ball in his own half, beating Marcus Kelly for pace as he burst forwards, and as Kelly gave up the chase he took on Dean Howell, cutting back inside and hitting a decent shot which Bastock did well to save.

This save, followed by the introduction of Craig McAllister shortly afterwards, saw a change in direction of the game, and now there was an outlet for the midfield via McAllister, the Diamonds suddenly looked to have an attacking threat, with a number of chances created, although wayward finishing by Jackson, Kelly and Burgess meant that Alan Julian didn’t have a lot to deal with.

With three minutes to go McAllister was awarded an indirect free kick as he was obstructed on the edge of the box following good work by Burgess and Osano on the right, with Osano notably starting to get forward more. As too often happens, Wayne Hatswell was too far from the ball when it was touched to him, and his shot was easily charged down.

Andy Burgess had the final real chance of the game, but his curling dipping shot was just over the bar,

Boxing Day games often attract a number of occasional visitors to Nene Park, but few of them will feel they have been missing much when they reflect on the football on show in the first hour. The game did liven up with the introduction of McAllister, but by then both sides were tiring and perhaps a goalless draw summed up the afternoon, and was a fair result in the end. The Diamonds must now reconsider tactics before the visit of Northwich Victoria on Saturday, especially given the Cheshire side’s victory over the Diamonds only a few weeks ago.

This was perhaps Diamonds best chance of a half that was rather reminiscent of the Boxing Day stalemate, although the Diamonds did seem to present a greater attacking threat.
