Winston DuBose is a retired American soccer goalkeeper who spent eight seasons in the North American Soccer League, four in the American Professional Soccer League and one in the American Indoor Soccer Association. He also earned fourteen caps with the United States men's national soccer team.
Born in Orlando, Florida, DuBose attended Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park, Florida. After graduating from high school, he played collegiate soccer at Florida Technological University, now known as the University of Central Florida, from 1973–1976 where he earned All-American honors. He was inducted in the school's athletic Hall of Fame in 2000.
DuBose began his professional career in 1977 with the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League. He helped the Rowdies to an appearance in Soccer Bowl '78, where they fell to the Cosmos. In 1982, the Rowdies traded DuBose to the Tulsa Roughnecks where he won the 1983 NASL championship. At the end of the 1984 season, the NASL collapsed. In 1985, he spent some time with the Tulsa Tornados of the United Soccer League. After the league collapsed mid-season, DuBose found his way back to the Tampa Bay Rowdies which by then were operating as an independent club playing exhibition games and invitational tournaments. In 1986, the Rowdies entered the American Indoor Soccer Association for a single season before spending the 1985–1988 season as an independent team. In 1988, a new, east-coast based league came into existence. The Rowdies entered the league, known as the American Soccer League for its first season. DuBose showed his class when he led the league with a 0.75 goals against average. At the end of the season, he moved to England where he spent several months with the Second Division, now Championship, Oldham Athletic. On October 6, 1988, he signed a one-year contract with Oldham's first team. In 1989, he returned to the U.S. to rejoin the Rowdies. In 1990, the ASL merged with the west coast based Western Soccer League to form the American Professional Soccer League (APSL). DuBose continued to play for the Rowdies in the APSL until he retired following the 1991 season. During his years in the ASL, he was an All-Star in both 1988 and 1989.
