Harry Dunn

Harry Dunn

Harry Dunn is an English former football player and current football club manager. He is the current manager of Conference North side Blyth Spartans.

Dunn was born in County Durham and began with his hometown club Bishop Auckland before being quickly snapped up by Scarborough in 1975, and soon endearing himself to their supporters. With Scarborough he gained two FA Trophy winners medals, scoring in the 1977 final at Wembley against Dagenham. He made 265 appearances for Scarborough, scoring 65 goals.

He joined Blyth Spartans in 1981, winning a Northern League Championship medal before rejoining Bishop Auckland in 1983.

He became manager of Bishop Auckland until 1995 when he left to manage Blyth Spartans. However, he did not stay long at Croft Park as he was appointed as manager of Whitby Town in December 1995, staying in charge until his sacking in September 2004.

He is sometimes confused with another long-standing Scarborough player called Harry Dunn, who made over 900 appearances for the club and was already at the club before Dunn joined from Bishop Auckland. To avoid confusion, the new signing was given the fictitious middle initial 'A' to differentiate between the two players. Therefore, to Scarborough fans he has always been known as Harry 'A' Dunn. It was the original Harry Dunn who managed Scarborough between 1984 and 1986, and was clubman of the year in 1970 and 1974, and not Harry 'A' Dunn as it often reported.
