Mamadou "Futty" Danso (born April 27, 1983) is a Gambian professional footballer who plays as a centre back.
Danso was acquired by Major League Soccer (MLS) club D.C. United via the waiver ranking order,[1] having left college early to turn professional, but was transferred to Portland Timbers of the USL First Division in April 2009 without ever signing a contract with MLS.
[2] Danso made his professional debut on April 25, 2009, coming on as a late substitute in Portland's game against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
When Danso played with fellow Gambian Pa Modou Kah, the two Timbers centerbacks became known as "The Great Wall of Gambia".
[7] In January 2017, Danso was unveiled as one of Kelantan FA's import players, replacing Cédric Djeugoue who failed to be signed by the club after he had a problem with his documents.
