Liam Edward Lewis Dolman (born 26 September 1987 in Northampton, Northamptonshire) is an English footballer currently playing for AFC Rushden & Diamonds. He can play at either centre-back or right-back. He was born in the area, and came up through the Northampton Town centre of excellence after starting his career at local club, Brixworth Juniors.
Dolman went on loan to Southern League side Aylesbury United in 2005–06, where he made a real impact. This convinced John Gorman to recall him at the start of 2006–07, although he never really got a first-team chance.
During his tenure at Northampton Town, it has been alleged that he was the only obese player to be playing full-time in the football league When Stuart Gray was appointed as manager in January 2007, Dolman's luck changed. He was named quite regularly in the 16-man squad towards the end of 2006–07, and started one game against Doncaster Rovers.
Upon leaving Northampton Dolman has had spells with Kidderminster where he played 7 games, Corby, where he failed to make an appearance and Banbury United where be captained the side.
Dolman currently plays for AFC Rushden & Diamonds in the United Counties League Premier Division.
"Bully", as he affectionately known on and off the pitch was announced as Daventry Town's Supporters Player of the season for 2013/2014. During this season, he was given a standing ovation by the Chesterfield supporters when substituted due to a leg injury in the 55th minute of their FA Cup match v Daventry Town. The match was goalless at the time.
Outside of football, he is a keen fisherman and cricketer. [2] The club announced on May 8 that Dolman would be offered a new contract,[3] and he signed a new six-month deal in the following two days.[4]
