Ian Stuart Dunbavin (born 27 May 1980) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. He is currently a free agent following his release from Accrington Stanley in July 2014.

Career

Born in Huyton, Merseyside, Dunbavin played in the youth team at Liverpool but did not get a first team game so left for Shrewsbury Town in 2000. In 2004, after playing more than 100 times for Shrewsbury, he joined Halifax Town. He had a spell at Scarborough before joining Accrington Stanley in the summer of 2006.

In January 2009, Dunbavin was arrested on suspicion of assault and affray by Merseyside Police, as a result of a bar brawl, for which Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard had previously been arrested.[2] He later admitted to the charge of affray.[3] In August 2009, Dunbavin was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison, suspended for a year, for his part in the brawl. He was also ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work, and expressed "remorse and shame" for throwing two punches at the victim.[4]

On 2 January 2014, Dunbavin signed for Chesterfield on a one-month emergency loan.[5] He returned to Accrington Stanley at the end of the season, and was released by the club on 5 July 2014.[6]
