Jerry Dawson (footballer, born 1888)

Jeremiah Dawson (18 March 1888 – 8 August 1970) was an English professional football goalkeeper.

Dawson is most notable for holding the record of having played the most ever league games for Burnley.

Burnley went on to win the FA Cup and, as a sign of respect for his unselfishness, Dawson was given a winner's medal along with the rest of the team.

[citation needed] Dawson also played twice for the England national football team, making his debut on 22 October 1921 in the 1–1 draw with Ireland.

After retiring from professional football he joined the coaching staff at Turf Moor, and played as a batsman in the Lancashire League for Burnley Cricket Club.
