Career
Dodge began his career at non League club Eton Manor before joining Tottenham Hotspur in October, 1957. In January, 1959 after a string of poor results Spurs manager, Bill Nicholson dropped legendary Danny Blanchflower in a favour of the younger Dodge (the first of 57 players to be given their club debut by Nicholson) who played in a more defensive role. The decision prompted the Northern Ireland international to request a transfer.
After this shock result, Blanchflower was reinstated and appointed team captain a fortnight later.
Dodge featured in ten matches in all competitions in 1959 with the Lilywhites. He transferred to Crystal Palace in July, 1962 where he notched up a further three appearances.
He went on to play non-league football with Kettering Town and Ashford Town for whom he had a 100% league appearance record over five years, and in his overall stay at Ashford a total of 425 appearances in all competitions.
