Anthony George Eeles (born 15 November 1970) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.[1]
Born in Chatham, Eeles played for Gillingham between 1989 and 1994,[2] scoring 5 goals in 73 appearances.[3] While with the club, he spent time on loan to Cork City.[4] He is credited as the scorer of one of Gillingham's most important goals, which maintained the Gills' Football League status, when he opened the scoring in a 2–0 home victory in 1993 over fellow relegation candidates Halifax Town.[5][6]
After leaving Gillingham, Eeles played non-league football for Dover Athletic,[3] Sittingbourne,[7] Ashford Town (Kent).[8][9] and Welling United.[10]
