Tony rejoined Rugby for his second spell in charge at Butlin Road in September 2008.

Dobson joined with Rugby rock bottom of the league, well adrift of safety, but an excellent run of form upto Christmas saw Valley climb out of the bottom four. This coupled with two decents runs in the FA Cup & Trophy have made for an impressive return for Tony.

The 2009/10 season did not pan out as expected and Rugby struggled at the start of the season culminating in Tony resigning due to personal problems in October 2009.

The former Coventry City & Blackburn Rovers defender had a four-year spell as manager with Valley from February 2001 and enjoyed a successful period as manager culminating in re-joining the Southern League Premier Division in 2004.

Tony resigned as manager of Rugby in May 2005 to take over at Solihull Borough (now Solihull Moors) but this spell lasted only one season.

Dobbo represented England at Under 21 International level and also featured in the Premiership during his playing career.
