Tony Finnigan (born 17 October 1962) is an English retired professional footballer who made nearly 200 appearances in the Football League.[3] He was born in Wimbledon. After retirement he became a players’ agent in partnership with Ian Wright and Andy Gray.[4] He is also the partner of Stan Collymore in a television production company.[5]

In his capacity as a players' agent, he has attracted controversy for supporting disgraced footballer Marlon King following the latter's criminal convictions.[6]
