SIMON DAWE
Born: 16 March 1977
Came from: Trainee Went to: Released
First game: 10 December 1994 Last game: 26 September 1995
Appearances: 5 (3/2) Goals: 0
A young defender who made his way up through the youth ranks at Argyle, Dawe's professional career was over almost as quickly as it had begun. Called upon to plug the gaps caused by an horrendous injury crisis in the relegation season of 1994-95, he was thrust straight into a situation he was not prepared for and the experience was probably enough to mentally scar the 17-year-old for life. A commendable display in a 3-0 home defeat to Brighton was followed up by further starts in an eye-watering 7-0 thrashing at Brentford and another 3-0 defeat at Swansea. Three league appearances in 16 days, 13 goals conceded. It was perhaps little wonder the youngster made just one more appearance before being released.
