Tony Mowbray, (born 22 November, 1963), is a former professional football player, who is now a football manager .

He played for Middlesbrough F.C., Ipswich Town F.C., and finally Celtic F.C. as a tough centre half, and is now manager of Scottish Premier League team Hibernian F.C.

Born in Middlesbrough he became the club captain of his home town club when he was just 22 years old, the club was in dire straits at the time and had gone into liquidation. He became a legend in Middlesbrough for being the local lad who led the club from the hell of liquidation back to the top flight of English football. Mowbray was the lynchpin that the Middlesbrough team was built around for more than a decade. The Middlesbrough club fanzine Fly me to the Moon is named after a famous quote that the then Middlesbrough manager Bruce Rioch said about Mowbray - “If I had to fly to the moon I’d take Tony Mowbray, my captain, with me. He’s a magnificent man,”.

During his playing career with Glasgow Celtic Mowbray's wife, Bernadette Doyle Mowbray, a native of Renfrewshire, died of breast cancer. In a show of solidarity, Tony suggested that the Celtic players perform a huddle immediately before the following match. This remains a common practice amongst the current Celtic players.

The dignified manner in which he handled this tragedy won him respect from all sides of Scottish football.

Once his playing career finished he moved into management. He is the current manager of Hibernian F.C. and has gained much acclaim for the job he has done. He is seen by many as one of the best young managers in the United Kingdom.
