Obituary – Colin Dobson

17 February 2023

Sheffield Wednesday are saddened to learn of the passing of our former player Colin Dobson, aged 82.

The Middlesbrough-born forward signed amateur forms with Wednesday in 1955 aged 15.

He then progressed to part time professional status in 1957 and became a full time professional with Wednesday in 1961.

Dobson made the inside-right position his own from 1962 and became a firm fans favourite, missing only a handful of games over the next four years.

He made a total of 195 appearances for Wednesday and scored 52 goals before leaving Hillsborough to join Huddersfield in 1966.

Our thoughts are with Colin’s family and friends at this difficult time.
