Biography
Introduction
Dennis George Izon (1 April 1907 – 1967) was an English footballer.
Playing career
Izon played for Rugeley and Colwich before joining Port Vale as an amateur in November 1928. He signed as a professional the next month and made his debut in a 1–0 win over Tranmere Rovers at The Old Recreation Ground on 21 December 1929, taking the place of Clarence Spencer. He was used largely as a back-up player, making four appearances as the "Valiants" won the Third Division North in 1929–30. He played just once in 1930–31, as Vale recorded their highest ever league finish in the Second Division. He featured 12 times in 1931–32, but was then released and moved on to Hyde United and Stafford Rangers.
