Antony Caig (born April 11, 1974 in Cleator Moor, Cumbria) is an English football goalkeeper.
Caig made his name playing for Carlisle United from 1992 to 1998, the highlight of this time being the penalty saves in the LDV Vans Trophy at Wembley against Colchester in 1997. However, the following year he was controversially allowed to leave by club owner Michael Knighton for a £5,000 fee just before the mid-season transfer deadline. This move eventually led to the signing of Jimmy Glass.
After three years without a start for Newcastle United of the FA Premier League, Caig decided to move Vancouver, British Columbia, to play for the Vancouver Whitecaps of the USL First Division. On May 14, 2006, Caig made his first appearance for the Canadian team. He has signed with the Whitecaps through the end of the 2007 season. With the Whitecaps he won the USL First Division Championship beating the Rochester Raging Rhinos to a score of 2-0. Also he recorded 11 clean sheets which he broke Mike Franks record of 10 clean sheets in 2003.
