Player profile

All of Dawson's 14 first-team games for the club came during the 1913/14 season. One press report noted that the inside-forward was "artistic but needed to infuse more devil into his work at close quarters." There was certainly a devil present when Dawson got sent off along with Stoke's Joe Jones in a wartime match on 18 September 1915. The pair collided and "angry words ensued." They squared up to each other but no blows were struck. The referee was going to overlook their differences but the players wouldn't let go of the matter so he had no alternative than to dismiss them. Dawson was suspended for two weeks by the Football Association.
