Anthony Gallagher (born 12 October 1963) is a former international badminton player from Scotland who competed at the Commonwealth Games.
Gallagher was born in 1963 [2] in Dungloe, Ireland [3] but for most of his career was based in Perth [4] and in 1988 he became the Scottish number 1 ranked player. [5]
A postal worker by profession, he won three consecutive singles titles at the Scottish National Badminton Championships from 1988 to 1990 [6] [7] and won the 1989 Irish Open. [8]
Gallagher represented the Scottish team [1] at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, where he competed in the badminton events. [9] Despite playing for Scotland for 4 years, he nearly missed the Games because he only held an Irish passport at the time. [3] Shortly after the Games in September 1990 he announced his retirement.
