George Francis Dodd (16 December 1881 – 1 January 1960) was an English footballer who played as a forward.

Club career

Dodd played for a number of amateur clubs in England before joining Stockport County in 1905. While at the club, he scored the first goal ever against newly formed Chelsea; after Joseph Schofield's penalty was saved by William Foulke, Dodd scored the rebound. After two seasons with Stockport County, he moved on to Workington and then Notts County, before joining Chelsea in 1911. Having played for a number of professional clubs during the First World War, and also serving as a private in the British Army, he joined Luton Town in 1919, going on to score five goals in fourteen appearances in all competitions.

Following his retirement, he managed amateur side Catford South End.
