Percival Hall Dawson (born 4 December 1889 – 1974) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward.
He played in the Scottish Football League for Heart of Midlothian and in the English Football League for Blackburn Rovers, moving between them in 1914 for what is believed to be a record transfer fee at the time.
Early on in his football career, he played for non-league sides Whitley Athletic and North Shields before moving to Scottish club Heart of Midlothian in 1911.
The outbreak of World War I brought about an end to professional football in England for four seasons.
After serving as a sergeant in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the war,[6] Dawson returned to Blackburn and remained with the club until 1922.
