English - Biography
- Striker David Dowson was one of many to join the club from Durham City in the summer of 2012. Dowson had previously played for the Quakers during the 2009/10 relegation season when he was on loan from Sunderland. In his first spell for the club he scored on his debut, however, he was unable to score again in his ten appearances for the club. After being released by Sunderland he played for Gateshead and York City, before dropping down to Durham. Dowson was a key member of the Northern League title win, in which he scored double figures. Despite not always being a first choice player in the 2014/15 season he remains a fan favourite. This was cemented when he scored the dramatic last minute winner in the play-off semi-final against local rivals Spennymoor Town.
