David Dunn came of age for Blackburn Rovers in 2000-01 and firmly established himself as a regular in the first-team line-up.

He netted a remarkable hat-trick of penalties in the 6-1 Worthington Cup victory over Rochdale and impressed with a willingness to take on opponents and some fine dribbling skills in the last third of the field.

Never reluctant to shoot from long-range he showed a capacity to battle away in midfield as well as sparkle in the opposition penalty area.

David was also a regular for England at Under-21 level, often captaining the side.

He was honoured by his fellow professionals when he was voted in to the PFA's First Division team.

David returned to Blackburn Rovers in January 2007 with a contract to June 2010 that was extended to June 2012 in January 2010, to June 2013 in January 2012, to June 2014 in June 2013 and to June 2015 in July 2014.

He joined Oldham Athletic in July 2015 with a one-year contract.
