Donald "Don" Green (born May 13, 1932 in Blackburn , † December 1992 in Garstang ) was an English football player .

Career

Green played in Blackburn local football in the early 1950s and was also used for the third team of the Blackburn Rovers (Blackburn Rovers 'A'). In May 1952, the amateur player completed a trial training with the third team of Accrington Stanley and belonged to the club on an amateur basis for the following years. About the reserve team in the Lancashire Combination, he moved for the first time in early November 1952 as a replacement for Billy Robinson for two games in the Football League Third Division North on the left defender position in the squad. After the resignation of coach Walter Crook in late February 1953, Green was called up by an interim club committee on the last ten game days of the 1952/53 season again instead of Robinson and mostly formed the defender pair with Bill Mellor ; the club, however, occupied last place in the table at the end of the season and had to stand for re-election to remain in the league. For the following season, Walter Galbraith took over the coaching position at Accrington, this no longer relied on Green.
