1990s England international has become an absolute machine since he took up bodybuilding

Looks completely different

Tony Daley won acclaim, and England caps, for his flying performances on the wing with Aston Villa in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The Birmingham native played 10 seasons for Villa and won seven England caps under former club manager Graham Taylor.

Just 5-foot-8 and of a slight build, Daley made a name for himself as a fast, tricky winger and someone would could as likely scorch a defender in the 90th minute as the 1st.

He moved on to Wolves in 1995 before his career finished out in the lower leagues and non-league football. He got involved with fitness coaching and started as a strength and conditioning coach with Sheffield United before he returned to Wolves in 2007.

He is now Head of Sports Science at Wolves and looks a lot different from the spry winger that terrorised defences back in the early 1990s.

If you are wondering how he does it, here’s a good idea…

Not bad for a man that turns 50 later this year.
