description: "Alexander Downie Dawson was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward. He was born in Aberdeen in Scotland, but began his professional career with Manchester United, where he spent four years before joining nearby Preston North End in 1961. In six seasons there, he made almost 200 league appearances and scored 114 goals. He then spent a year with fellow Lancashire side Bury, before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion. In 1970, he went on loan to Brentford, but his league career ended the following year. He spent two more seasons playing for Corby Town before retiring in 1973."
