Club career

Dando signed for his hometown club Liverpool in September 1969, but found himself behind Scottish international Tommy Lawrence and the emerging Ray Clemence in the pecking order at Anfield. His only taste of English League football came during a loan-spell at Barrow A.F.C. in their penultimate season in the Football League. He played nine times from his debut in November 1970. In March 1971, Dando went on loan to Bury, spending the entire spell in the reserves. He returned to Anfield, before being released at the end of the 1971-72 season. He decided to try his luck elsewhere.

In 1972, he embarked on a successful career Down Under for the likes of New Zealand's Christchurch United and Nelson United, as well as several seasons in Australia's professional NSL for Brisbane Lions and Newcastle KB. [2]

International career

Dando played two official A-international matches for New Zealand, [1] making his debut in a 0-0 draw with Iran on 12 August 1973, his second appearance some two years later in a 1-1 draw with Macao on 5 November 1975. [3]
