[edit] Football career
Dodd was born in Bath, Somerset and attended the Beechen Cliff School. He joined Southampton from Bath City in 1989 for £15,000.
He was due to retire at the end of the 2004–05 season, during which he spent time on loan to Plymouth Argyle; however, after his contract expired with Southampton he left to join Brighton & Hove Albion. He made only seven appearances for Brighton during his year at the club due to injury.
In July 2006 he joined Conference South team Eastleigh on a free transfer, to play alongside former Southampton colleague, Francis Benali. A recurrence of his ankle injury prevented him playing after the first three games of the 2006–07 season, and he retired from playing in November 2006 and was appointed head coach of Eastleigh. The following month he replaced Paul Doswell, who had become director of football, as Eastleigh's manager, but resigned in July 2007 to be replaced by David Hughes.[1]
Dodd returned to Southampton as first-team coach under manager George Burley in the summer of 2007, replacing Glynn Snodin. When Burley left in January 2008, Dodd became joint caretaker manager of Southampton, alongside John Gorman. Though on 23 June, Dodd was released.
In December 2003, Jason scored a famous goal directly from a corner against Saints' rivals Portsmouth; however, the FA robbed him of the goal by incorrectly awarding the goal as an own goal to the Pompey defender on the goal line.
