Dennis William Rampling (25 November 1923 – 14 September 2015) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside right in the Football League for Fulham, Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic and Brentford.
An outside right, Rampling began his career with Fulham during the Second World War and signed in November 1942.[2] After the war, he made just four competitive appearances, scoring one goal, before transferring to Third Division South high-flyers Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in July 1948. Rampling made 24 league appearances and scored four goals during his single season at Dean Court and joined Second Division club Brentford in May 1949. He made his debut on the opening day of the 1949–50 season against Tottenham Hotspur,[3] but failed to make another appearance for the club before departing in April 1950. After his release from Brentford, Rampling dropped into non-League football and had spells with Weymouth and Ashford Town.[4]
Rampling was called into the RAF in March 1946 and served as a PT instructor.[5]
