Ken Stimpson School pupil Anton, who has just completed his GCSE exams, is a versatile defender whose best position is right-back. He has spent the past five years in the Foxes junior ranks. Sixteen year-old Anton, from Werrington, burst onto the junior football scene with an Abbey Athletic team that completed back-to-back league and cup doubles locally. He moved onto Cambridge United at the age of 10 and spent a year-and-a-half there before being spotted by Leicester scouts. He has been with the Foxes ever since and was actually offered a scholarship more than a year ago due to the outstanding progress he has made. http://www.bournelocal.co.uk/sport/local_football_2_3565/anton_earns_scholarship_at_leicester_1_2793671#resize-image Anton is coached at Leicester by Trevor Peake who was an FA Cup winner with Coventry City during his own distinguished career. He comes from a family with plenty of footballing pedigree. Father Richard is a well-known local player and his uncle, Ivor, appeared for Posh in the 1950s.
