Trevor Charles Dark (born 29 January 1961) is a former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham City.[2] He played as a winger.

As a schoolboy Dark was associated with Arsenal, but when he left school in 1977 he joined Birmingham City as an apprentice, turning professional two years later.[3] He made his debut as an 18-year-old when he came on as substitute for Stewart Barrowclough in a 1–0 home defeat to Leeds United in the First Division on 10 February 1979. He started the next two games, and made a further two substitute appearances later on in the 1978–79 season, at the end of which Birmingham were relegated;[4] his progress was not improved by an attempt to convert him from winger to full back.[3] He left Birmingham in 1981 for non-league football in the London area, spending time with Hendon,[5] Carshalton Athletic,[6][7] Fisher Athletic and Tooting & Mitcham United.[3]
