Richard Dawson was born in York on 6th July 1962 and played for local club New Earswick before signing for York City as an 18 year old in 1980. He made 45 appearances in York's first team as a midfield player between 1981 and 1983 before signing for Scarborough where he helped the Yorkshire coast club to the Conference title and promotion to the Football League. He then played for Frickley Athletic, Boston United, Goole Town, Chorley and Northwich Victoria. Dawson then had a spell as manager at Bridlington Town before arriving at Mossley as player-manager in August 1994. His spell in charge at Seel Park was short and completely disastrous. He was in charge for 14 games. Eight League games of which Mossley lost seven and drew one, and six cup games of which the Lilywhites managed to win two. Following a 0-1 home defeat by Radcliffe Borough on the 8th October 1994 Richard Dawson's spell at Mossley was ended by mutual consent with Mossley placed at the bottom of the UniBond League Division One. Dawson had signed a number of Yorkshire based players who were evidently not good enough and they all left within a couple of weeks of Dawson's departure. Richard Dawson made 8 appearances for Mossley scoring 2 goals.
