'''Michael Richard Dawson''' (born 18 November 1983) is an English former professional [[Association football|footballer]]
As a player, he was a [[centre back]]. Dawson started his career at Nottingham Forest playing alongside veteran defender [[Des Walker]] before moving to [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] with teammate [[Andy Reid (Irish footballer)|Andy Reid]] for a fee of £8 million. While at Tottenham, Dawson won the [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] in 2008. His form in the [[2009–10 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season|2009–10 season]] saw him included in England's preliminary [[2010 FIFA 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.
In August 2014, [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] signed Dawson from Tottenham for a fee believed to be £3.5 million. Although relegated with Hull at the end of the 2014–15 season, he helped them return to the [[Premier League]] when they beat [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]] in the [[2016 Football League Championship play-off
