Jason Irvin Winans Dozzell (born 9 December 1967) is an English former professional footballer who made more than 500 Football League appearances for Ipswich Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Northampton Town and Colchester United. Dozzell holds the record for being the youngest goalscorer in the England's top division after scoring for Ipswich Town against Coventry City in a First Division match on 4 February 1984 at the age of 16 years and 57 days (the youngest goalscorer since the formation of the Premier League is Everton's James Vaughan, aged 16 years 270 days). His son Andre also scored on his Ipswich debut aged 16.
Dozzell has also managed two non-League football clubs, both in the Eastern Counties Football League — Ipswich Wanderers and Leiston. As of October 2008, he is not managing a club.
Born in Ipswich, Suffolk, in 1967, Dozzell attended the local Chantry High School. He has supported local charities, including acting as a patron for "Operation Santa Claus", run in conjunction with radio station SGR-FM. He played for a "Town Legends" side against a Soccer AM team in 2005 to raise money for the Academy, where his son, Andre, was in the under-10s team. In 2007, he was found guilty of driving with excess alcohol and was banned for three years.
