Anton Rogan, born on 25 March 1966 in Northern Ireland, dedicated himself to an illustrious career in football as a sturdy defender. Standing at a height of 5ft 11in (1.8m) and carrying a weight of 13st (83kg), Rogan was every inch the archetypical defender.
In May 1986, Rogan joined Celtic, earning his stripes in the Premiership in Scotland. His debut season in 1986 - 1987 saw him make ten first team appearances and hit the back of the net once in league matches. The following season of 1987 - 1988 witnessed Rogan make 33 first team appearances, scoring one goal in league matches. As 1988 - 1989 rolled around, Rogan upped his presence to 34 first team appearances, with one successful go at goal. In the 1989 - 1990 season, his involvement somewhat dwindled to 18 first team appearances in league matches. Despite reducing playing time, Rogan still made an impact in the 1990 - 1991 season with 27 first team appearances and one goal. His stint at Celtic came to a close in the 1991 - 1992 season, where he made five first team appearances.
Change was in the air for Rogan in October 1991, when he signed the play for Sunderland in the Championship in England, for a transfer fee rounded to £350k. He made an impressive 33 first team appearances in the first season, scoring once. In his next season, he made 13 first team appearances.
August 1993 saw Rogan on the move again, joining Oxford United in the Championship in England. Here he made 29 first team appearances, scoring twice, and replicated his appearances the following season with an additional goal scored.
By August 1995, Rogan found himself at Millwall; his first season saw him appear eight times in first team league matches. The following season, he returned in full form with 28 first team appearances and eight successful shots at goal.
In July 1997, Rogan moved to Blackpool in League One in England. Here, he saw reduced playing time, featuring just once in his first season, but returned with 14 first team appearances in his following and final season in professional football.
