Join the roomJohn George Dodsworth was an English professional footballer who played as a right-half. Born in Darlington, County Durham, he joined the Darlington reserve team in March 1928 and played his only league game for the club on 5 May 1928 in the 1–3 defeat away at Rotherham United. Later that month, Dodsworth signed for Football League Third Division North side Nelson, following in the footsteps of Jack English, his former manager at Darlington. He was one of a number of Darlington players suspended by The Football Association in relation to alleged irregular payments, and subsequently was unavailable for selection for his new club until January 1929.
