Douglas Alexander "Dougie" Brown (born 21 March 1958) is a former footballer who played as a forward for Sheffield United.

Born in Poole in Dorset,[1] Brown started his career in Scotland where he was signed by Aberdeen on 16 July 1976[2] but failed to make the breakthrough into the first team.[1] On May 17, 1978[3] he moved to Clydebank for a short spell before being signed by English side Sheffield United on 2 March 1979, making his league debut the following day in a 1–1 draw against Oldham Athletic.[1]

Described by the press as an 'enthusiastic' player Brown was unable to establish himself as a first team player and eventually left United in October 1980 after playing 31 games in total and scoring five goals.[1]

Following his departure from United, Brown returned to his former trade as an engineering fitter. Brown worked for his father, George Brown, who was a building sub-contractor. George Brown had also been a Football League player, with Southport and Bradford Park Avenue.[1][4]
