Garry Dulson

Dulson started his career at Nottingham Forest, before joining Third Division club Port Vale on loan in October 1974, and signing permanently for £5,000 the next month.[1] He fared poorly in the FA Cup, scoring an own goal in a 2–2 draw with Lincoln City at Vale Park, before getting sent off in the replay at Sincil Bank after punching Dick Krzywicki.[1] He ended the 1974–75 season with 34 appearances to his name.[1] Dulson scored his first senior goal on 13 September 1975, in a 3–3 draw with Southend United at Roots Hall; he got his second in a 2–1 win over Rotherham United at Millmoor on 6 March 1976.[1] He played a total of 34 games in 1975–76.[1] He lost his first-team place to John Ridley at the start of the 1976–77 season, but after John Ridley picked up an injury Dulson managed to establish himself as David Harris's centre-back partner and picked up the club's Sportsman of the Year trophy, whilst Harris was named as overall Player of the Year.[3] Dulson bagged his third and final career goal in a 1–1 home draw with Tranmere Rovers on 16 April 1977, and ended the 1976–77 campaign with 29 appearances to his name.[1] He played 22 games in 1977–78, but manager Roy Sproson was replaced by Bobby Smith in October 1977, and Dulson fell out of the first team picture.[1]

He was loaned out to Crewe Alexandra in November 1978, before joining Warwick Rimmer's side permanently the next month.[1] The "Railwaymen" finished bottom of the Fourth Division in 1978–79, and second-from-bottom in 1979–80 under the stewardship of Tony Waddington.[1] Dulson moved into non-League football with Alliance Premier League side Northwich Victoria; he later played for Stafford Rangers, Boston United and Eastwood.[1]
