Career
Wagstaff became an apprentice at Bramall Lane in June 1960, turning professional in March 1961. In 1963-1964, he scored 9 times in 37 league matches, which was the best scoring spell of his career. Many believed that his apparent lack of pace and power reduced the effectiveness of such a skilled player.
By the time United were relegated to Division Two in 1968, Tony"s appearances had become very limited and the Wagstaffs were sold to Reading for a combined fee of £17,500.
Tony had played 157 competitive games (138 league games) for Sheffield United scoring 21 (19 league) goals in all. Tony stayed at Reading until 1973, making 185 competitive appearances (166 league games) and scoring 6 times (5 league goals) for the Royals.
