5. Michael DAWSON |
Michael Richard Dawson (born 18 November 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a defender at centre back for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Midway through the 2009–10 season, Dawson became the team captain of Tottenham Hotspur as Robbie Keane left for Celtic on loan in January. His form that season saw him included in England's preliminary World Cup squad. Although he initially failed to make the final 23-man squad, an injury to captain Rio Ferdinand saw him drafted in as replacement.[3] Thank you Wikipedia for the information Dawson made his debut for the England under-21 side against Italy under-21 on 11 February 2003. He went on to earn 13 England under-21 international caps, captaining the team on several occasions. His last appearances for the under-21 team wasin a 2–1 loss to France under-21 on 15 November 2005. As of 2010, he had been in several national team squads, but was yet to be capped at senior level. Dawson was capped twice for the England B team. His first cap came in their 2–1 loss to Belarus national football team at Reading's Madejski Stadium on 25 May 2006. His second cap came in their 3–1 win over Albania at Burnley's Turf Moor ground exactly a year later. Dawson was named in England's 30-man provisional squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but was not selected for the final 23-man squad.[10] However, on 4 June 2010, Rio Ferdinand was withdrawn from the World Cup squad due to an injury sustained in the team's first training session, and Capello announced Dawson as Ferdinand's replacement.[11] Dawson was the only uncapped member of the squad. He made his first appearance for England in a World Cup warm-up match against the Platinum Stars; however, the match was not counted as a full international, merely a training match, so he did not receive a cap for his appearance. |
