Career

Dando played for Bath City before joining Bristol Rovers in 1928, initially as an amateur. He joined York City in the summer of 1933, where he scored twice on his debut against Crewe Alexandra on 30 August 1933. He finished the 1933–34 season with 25 goals in 41 league appearances. The following season he scored 21 league goals. During these two seasons, he scored three hat-tricks. He scored a total of 46 goals in 86 league and cup appearances for York.[2]

Dando joined Chesterfield in June 1935 and scored 27 goals as the club won the Division Three North in the 1935–36. He moved to Crewe Alexandra two years later, in a deal which also saw Bert Swindells join Chesterfield from Crewe.[3] Dando died in 1949 at the age of 44 after being troubled by ill health.[2]
