Ballon d’Awson
Oh Joshy Dawson… A terrace favourite with the Dragoons supporters, Josh attended Graveney School. He starred for the football team, winning the London Cup and South London Cup in his time at the school.
The versatile defender left England to prolong his studies in the States, studying at Lindsborg College, Kansas and played one season of college football.
Josh is a supremely talented sportsman and football comes second to his love of Tennis. Following his studies, Dawson concentrated on building his own company in London, delivering sport lessons to over 20,000 children.
After moving to Poland, Josh found the Dragoons online and a love of the beautiful game has been rekindled. After initially trialling, he joined the squad and made his debut in the 6-0 victory over Rybitwy in the 2020/21 season.
Dawson is a dream for the coaches being equally adept at centre half and full-back. A popular member of the squad, Josh has proven himself to be a danger from set pieces, not being afraid to stick his head where it hurts in either box. He also had the honour of being labelled the most handsome player by the players in the off the pitch video!
Josh scored his first Dragoons goal against Tramwaj II. In a scenario which has become like Groundhog Day, Dawson slammed a header into the net from a Forabosco corner.
#FunFact
As of the 2024/25 season, Josh is the highest scoring defender in the Dragoons history, putting the Englishman in the top 10 of the all time top goal scorer charts – an impressive feat for a defensive player!
