Career

Whilst in his second spell at Chesterfield he helped them reach the FA Cup semi-final in 1997, playing as a substitute in the quarter-final tie against Wrexham. However, he did not play in the semi-final, in which Chesterfield lost to Middlesbrough after a replay. Dunn was the first player in British football to score a golden goal. He achieved this feat in the Football League Trophy for Huddersfield Town versus Lincoln City on 30 November 1994. Huddersfield won 3–2 in extra time. Dunn was later presented with a commemorative trophy. Always a cult figure, Dunn polarised fans' opinions; despite this he was voted Huddersfield Town's all-time cult hero by the club's fans in an August 2004 poll for the BBC's Football Focus programme, and was included in the fans' all-time 100 favourite players.
