Tony Witter (born 12 August 1965) is a retired English footballer who played during the 1980s and 1990s.
Witter was a central defender who played for numerous clubs during his career including Millwall, Scunthorpe United and Bohemians amongst others. He spent nearly seven years at Millwall making 104 league appearances, scoring two goals. He made a solitary appearance for Bohemians, against Galway United in December 1999.
Witter who is of African-Caribbean ethnicity was notable for being accepted by Millwall supporters at a time when some of them had a reputation for racial intolerance.[1][2]
