Anthony "Bisto" Flood (born 31 December 1984) is a retired Irish footballer who played as a striker.
Career
St. Patrick's Athletic
After raising eyebrows at youth level, Anto began his top-flight career by signing for
Flood returned to the Saints at the beginning of the 2006 season but found himself back in a similar situation. First team opportunities were again limited and he was eventually loaned out by Pats again, this time to Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers in July 2006.[1] Anto scored 3 league goals in 9 league appearances in the 2006 season including the opening goal in Rovers 1000th League win.[2]
Dundalk
After spending effectively two seasons on loan from St. Patrick's Athletic, Anto departed the Saints in December 2006 to sign for First Division
Shelbourne
As a free agent, Flood remained out of the game for two months until the next transfer window in July 2007 when he was snapped up by First Division side, Shelbourne, in order to boost their attacking options.
Galway United
Örebro SK
With not joining St Mirren, Flood was told that there was a club in the Swedish top division of Allsvenskan that wanted him for a trial. On 28 July 2010, Flood joined Örebro SK on trial. The club were searching for a new center forward since the departure of the Danish striker Kim Olsen.[9] On 30 July, the club announced that they had signed Flood on a short-term contract until the end of the year.[10]
Bohemians
Flood signed for Bohs in February 2011 just in time for the new season.[11] He scored his first goal for the club on his League debut against Bray Wanderers on 4 March 2011 in the Carlisle Grounds.[12] Flood followed this good start by scoring the winner the following week against Drogheda United[13] Flood was a free agent at the end of the season.
Southend United
On 13 January, Flood signed a contract with Southend United until the end of the season, having impressed manager Paul Sturrock in a trial game earlier in the month. He was selected as a substitute for the game against Morcambe[14] and made his first and only appearance for Southend as a 90th-minute substitute against Burton Albion.[14] On 18 May 2012, Flood was one of 11 players to be released at the end of their contract.[15]
Return to St. Patrick's Athletic
Flood announced that he had rejoined his first professional club, St Patrick's Athletic, via his Twitter account. He was included in the Saints squad for the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League campaign, with the first round tie against Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja from Iceland.[16] Flood made his debut in the 86th minute in the home leg and did well, holding up the ball to run down the clock to secure the 1–0 win.[17] Flood's league debut for the club came against arch rivals Shamrock Rovers in a Dublin derby that ended all square (1–1).
Move to Australia
Flood joined ESFA Premier League side, Dunbar Rovers in March 2014 to play alongside former League of Ireland players, Clive Delaney (Derry City), Thomas Crawley (Derry City) and Craig Mooney (Shelbourne). He made his debut in the Waratah Cup where he scored a hat-trick against Parramatta City in a 5–1 win.[18]
Flood signed for the Marconi Stallions in 2015.
Bray Wanderers
Flood returned to Ireland from Australia in December 2016, and on 7 January 2017 it was announced that he had signed for Bray Wanderers for the 2017 season.
