David Crosson is an English former footballer who made 134 appearances in the Football League playing as a right back for Newcastle United and Darlington in the 1970s.
Crosson was born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, and began his football career as a junior with Newcastle United. He made his first-team debut in the Texaco Cup in October 1973, and had a run of games in the First Division towards the end of the 1973–74 season. He was unable to dislodge long-time incumbent right-back David Craig, and in 1975 moved on to Fourth Division club Darlington on a free transfer. He played 128 league matches over the next five seasons, scoring twice, before moving into non-league football with Crook Town. Crosson then moved to Tasmania where he played for Rapid and the Tasmania representative side, and later went into coaching.
