Thomas Dawson (15 December 1901 – 30 November 1977) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Clapton Orient, Gateshead and Stoke City.[1]
Dawson was born in Durham and worked as a miner, playing football for Washington Colliery and Chopwell Institute before joining Stoke City in 1924.[1] He was used as back up to Bob McGrory and due to his consistency Dawson found it very difficult to break into the first team.[1] He was then installed as captain of Stoke's reserve side and spent eight seasons at the Victoria Ground, making just 24 appearances in the first team.[1] He played a season with Clapton Orient and then back in his home of the north east with Gateshead.[1]
