Martin Dobson (born 14 February 1948) is an English former professional football player and coach.
He was signed as youngster by Bolton Wanderers who spotted him playing for Lancashire Grammar Schools.
His first England cap was awarded to him by manager Sir Alf Ramsey (because of FA Cup commitments of other players) on 3 April 1974, a 0–0 draw against Portugal.
[3] Dobson was appointed manager of Bristol Rovers in July 1991, but was sacked after only 12 games in charge in October of the same year.
However, Dobson and Pashley never managed a game due to the rapid appointment of Brian Laws.
