George Richard Dobson (24 August 1949 – 10 September 2007) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Brentford as a winger. He later dropped into non-League football and played for Guildford City and Slough Town. After retiring as a player, he became a coach.
Playing career
Brentford
A winger, Dobson joined Brentford at a young age and came through the youth ranks and made his debut in a 1–0 Fourth Division win over Chesterfield at Griffin Park on 25 February 1967 at the age of just 17.[1][2] He quickly established himself as a first team regular, making 37 appearances during the 1967–68 season and winning rave reviews for his ability to take on and beat opposition full backs.[1][2] Dobson's appearance count reduced during the 1968–69 season, as a broken ankle hindered his progress.[1] An injury to Dobson's other leg ensured he would not be the same player again and he departed the Bees at the end of the 1969–70 season.[1] He made 93 appearances and scored 10 goals for the club.[1]
Non-League football
After his release from Brentford, Dobson had spells with non-League clubs Guildford City and Slough Town in the 1970s.[3]
Coaching career
Dobson later returned to Brentford to work in the club's Centre Of Excellence.[1]
Personal life
Dobson had two sons, Michael and Richard, who were both on the books at Brentford,[4] with Michael making over 200 appearances for the first team between 2000 and 2006, many of them as captain.[5] Richard played non-League football and went on to work in the Centre Of Excellence at Brentford and coached the club's women's team,[1][4] before moving to Wycombe Wanderers in 2007 to work in the club's youth system, rising to become first team assistant manager in 2011.[6][7] Dobson, a cancer sufferer, died on 10 September 2007.[5]
