Does anyone remember this Plymouth Argyle player playing in Cornwall?

Tony an inside forward played in the second half of the season 1971-72 in Falmouth's SWL Championship team making 16 appearances and scoring 2 goals.

According to the GoS (greens on screen) website he left Argyle (mainly a reserve player) in 1968 to Cape Town City in SA but later came home to Tavistock (Town) FC.

Tony was my U-16 manager at Argyle when I was there. Lovely guy and I’ve got a photo of our team here somewhere with Geoff Battams and a few others in the team. 

Very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.
