This article is quite old, but well worth reading if youdidn't see it at the time. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/16/stephen-dawson-match-fixing
Good read I liked Dawson, a solid hard-working lad and a decent ball-player. That "fake-sheik" bloke's got a lot to answer for.
Re: Good read Me too. In that season of gutless, spineless players who got us relegated he was one of the few who always gave 100%. What he lacked in ability he more than made up for with heart and passion.
That mahmood is a corrupt snake. The real bottom of the pile of **** corrupt journalist. It's a shame he is even considered a journalist. He's basically just scum. I was never a huge fan of Dawson, but appreciated he was a fully committed player, and I'd take him over some of the charlatans that pulled on a Barnsley shirt those seasons.
Didn't rate Dawson as a player but didn't mind him as he gave his all. I was more pissed off at the lads who were good enough for the championship but didn't put the effort in
