Career Dawson was born in Durham and worked as a miner, playing football for Washington Colliery and Chopwell Institute before joining Stoke City in 1924. 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. 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. He played a season with Clapton Orient and then back in his home of the north east with Gateshead.
