Anthony Alan "Tony" Ackerman (born February 20, 1948 in Islington ) is a former English football player .

Career

Ackerman was an amateur member of West Ham United as a youth before moving to Leyton Orient within London in May 1966 . On October 28, 1966 he received his first professional contract from coach Dick Graham and made his third division debut just one day later in a 1-1 draw against Watford FC . The defensive was one of the youngest in the club's history with goalkeeper Ron Willis (18 years), Ackerman (18), Tony Goodgame (20), Paul Went (17) and Peter Allen (19), only Brian Whitehouse (31) was already on look back on a longer career.

As a result, Ackerman was only used sporadically and after a loan stay with Corby Town in the Southern League in late 1967, he ended his football career in the summer of 1968 to take up a job in the printing industry.
