[19] A centre-forward,[20] Dare began his football career with Alton, playing for the club in the 1948–49 Hampshire Intermediate Cup.

[22] He left Southampton after one season, having not featured in the first team, and was subsequently signed by Exeter for £250,[23] following negotiations between Southampton manager Sid Cann and his contemporary at Exeter, George Roughton;[24] Dare had initially declined the move, fearing it would interfere with his cricket career.
