David Edwin Chadwick (born 19 August 1943) is an English retired professional footballer/soccer player, who played as a wing-forward, before a career coaching in the United States. He was born in Ootacamund, India.
Chadwick began his career as a junior with Southampton, and became the youngest player to appear for their reserves on 31 October 1959, aged 16 years 73 days. He turned professional in October 1960 and made his first-team debut on 4 November 1961, at home to Bristol Rovers in place of the injured Terry Paine. His six years at the Dell were spent in the shadow of Paine and John Sydenham and as a result he only made 25 league appearances for The Saints, in which he scored once. In July 1966 he moved to Middlesbrough, costing the Ayresome Park side £10,000, and slotted straight into the side, making his Boro debut on 20 August against Colchester United.
He played the last of just over 100 league games for Boro on 27 September 1969 against Blackpool, before moving to Halifax Town in January 1970. In February 1972, after 15 goals in 95 league games, he left the Shay to join Bournemouth, but struggled to make an impact. He was loaned to Torquay United in December 1972, and in the summer of 1974 joined NASL side Dallas Tornado on loan.
In September 1974 he joined Gillingham on a free transfer. He remained at Priestfield Stadium for only one season before returning to Dallas for the 1975 NASL season. He spent the 1976 season with the newly formed American Soccer League side Tacoma Tides where he served as a player and assistant coach. The Tides lasted only a single season before folding. On a minor note, Chadwick coached Bruce Arena, the future manager of the United States men's national soccer team, who was a Tides back up goalkeeper. In 1977, Chadwick returned to the NASL with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
