Michael Dawson
Encyclopedia
Michael Richard Dawson (born 18 November 1983) is an English footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur
and the England national football team
.
Midway through the 2009–10 season, Dawson became the team captain of Tottenham Hotspur as Robbie Keane
left for Celtic
on loan in January. His form that season saw him included in England
's preliminary World Cup squad. Although he initially failed to make the final 23-man squad, an injury to captain Rio Ferdinand
saw him drafted in as replacement.
, North Yorkshire
, Dawson grew up in Leyburn
and attended Wensleydale school. He is the younger brother of Hull City
defender Andy Dawson and Kevin Dawson
(formerly of Chesterfield
). He started his football career playing for his local team, Northallerton Junior Football club, and also spent a year playing for Richmond before signing as a junior professional with Nottingham Forest
at the age of 14. He turned professional in November 2000 accumulating 91 appearances for Nottingham Forest including his début on 1 April 2002 against Walsall
in a 3–2 home defeat.
The following season Dawson formed a solid partnership with veteran Des Walker
as Forest finished sixth in the First Division and eventually lost 4–3 in the second leg of the playoff final to Sheffield United
, although Dawson missed that game having been sent off in the first leg.
In the close season Dawson contracted glandular fever whilst on duty with the England under-21s
which caused him to miss the start of the following season and thus began a struggle against various injuries which marred the rest of his Forest career. Forest also struggled – winning only twice between the end of September and the beginning of February caused Paul Hart
to be dismissed and replaced by Joe Kinnear
. The season was transformed from one battling relegation to a confident mid-table finish with the return of Dawson and David Johnson to the team being one of the reasons for this. In February 2003, Dawson signed a five-and-a-half year contract at Forest.
When Forest suffered relegation to the third tier for only the second time in their history he and one of his Forest team-mates, left-winger Andy Reid
, signed for Tottenham Hotspur
on 31 January 2005 from Forest for an undisclosed fee thought to be worth a combined £8m. His début came towards the end of that campaign in the 2–2 draw at Liverpool
on 16 April 2005.
, impressing many with his aerial ability and attitude. On 28 March 2006 he signed a contract extension which would have lasted until 2011.
He has formed a strong relationship with Ledley King
in his time at Spurs. In King's long-term absence from injury, Spurs have had to rely on Dawson as their star defender, and the 27-year-old has impressed on a consistent basis without the help of his more experienced partner. His never-say-die attitude in Spurs' defence in the absence of King had led to him becoming established as a fan favourite. Dawson scored his first competitive goal for Tottenham in their 2–1 win over Chelsea
at White Hart Lane on 5 November 2006. His goal cancelled out Claude Makélélé
's strike. Aaron Lennon
later scored the winner. Dawson first captained the team in the 2007 FA Cup quarter-final tie away to London rivals Chelsea
due to injuries to stand-in captains Robbie Keane
and Paul Robinson
, and to the club's regular captain King. After a season in which he played all but one of Tottenham's 59 games he was rewarded with a new five year contract on 11 May 2007 which would have kept him at the club until 2012, despite still having several years left on his contract.
In the 2008–09 season Dawson was to see his playing opportunities become more limited due to the arrival the previous season of Jonathan Woodgate
from Middlesbrough. The 2009–10 Premiership season was to be regarded by many as Dawson's finest season in a Spurs shirt to date as he helped the club to a fourth-place finish, their highest league finish for 20 years and a qualification place for the UEFA Champions League
. Initially Dawson was to once again struggle to get into the side partly due to the arrival of Sebastien Bassong
from Newcastle in the summer, however after Tottenham's 9–1 demolition of Wigan Athletic in November and with ongoing injury problems to defensive duo King and Woodgate, Dawson was to establish himself as a rock at the heart of Tottenham's defence. He was to miss just one of Spurs' games for the remainder of the season and his leadership on and off the pitch saw him awarded the team captaincy after the loan departure of Keane to Celtic.
It was announced on 27 January 2010 that he had signed a new five year contract with Tottenham Hotspur taking him to 2015. Dawson's excellent performances throughout the course of the season saw him awarded Tottenham Hotspur's Player of the Year award. His form that season led to Manchester City
striker Carlos Tevez
calling him "the best English defender I have played against" due to his strength. On Monday 22 August 2011, he started and played the full 90 minutes alongside Younes Kaboul
against Manchester United in a 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford
. On Sunday 28 August 2011, Dawson started and played the full 90 minutes Manchester City at White Hart Lane
in a 5-1 defeat.
side against Italy under-21
on 11 February 2003. He went on to earn 13 England under-21 international caps, captaining the team on several occasions. His last appearances for the under-21 team was in a 2–1 loss to France under-21
on 15 November 2005. As of 2010, he had been in several national team squads, but was yet to be capped at senior level.
Dawson was capped twice for the England B
team. His first cap came in their 2–1 loss to Belarus national football team
at Reading
's Madejski Stadium
on 25 May 2006. His second cap came in their 3–1 win over Albania
at Burnley
's Turf Moor
ground exactly a year later.
Dawson was named in England
's 30-man provisional squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup
, but was not selected for the final 23-man squad. However, on 4 June 2010, Rio Ferdinand
was withdrawn from the World Cup squad
due to an injury sustained in the team's first training session, and Capello announced Dawson as Ferdinand's replacement. Dawson was the only uncapped member of the squad. He made his first appearance for England in a World Cup warm-up match against the Platinum Stars; however, the match was not counted as a full international, merely a training match, so he did not receive a cap for his appearance.
He made his full international debut in a friendly
against Hungary
on 11 August 2010, coming on as a half time substitute and was involved in a controversy over Hungary's goal. After making a mistake in the build-up, he got back to clear the ball off the line - a goal was given, however replays suggested the ball had actually not crossed the line.
On 3 September 2010, Dawson made his first competitive start for England in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying
game against Bulgaria
. Unfortunately, he sustained a knee injury and left the field on a stretcher after 56 minutes.
On February 9, 2011, Dawson played for England against Denmark. Dawson earned his 4th cap when he started along side John Terry
for England in their UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against Wales
on 26 March 2011. He played the full match.
