Playing career
Dawson came through Port Vale's Youth Training Scheme and went on to sign with Rochdale in July 1989.[1] He scored on his debut away at Cambridge United. He scored two goals in 27 Fourth Division games in the 1989–90 campaign, helping Terry Dolan's "Dale" to a 12th-place finish. He added five more goals from 28 league matches during the 1990–91 season, with Rochdale again posting a 12th-place finish, before he was released from Spotland Stadium by Dave Sutton.
He signed with Conference club Macclesfield Town on a free transfer and took up employment as a coalman.[1] He made his debut for the "Silkmen" as a substitute away at Colchester United on 17 August 1991.[1] He made just five league starts at Moss Rose, scoring three goals from a total of 21 league and cup appearances over the 1990–91 season.[1] He was then released and spent some time with Leek Town, moving on to Stafford Rangers in 1992.[1]
