An England youth international and Under-21 international who really came to the public's attention in Blackburn Rovers' first season back in the big time in 2001/02.
Actually made his debut in September 1998 - at Everton - when Rovers were last in the Premiership.
His performances earned him the captaincy of the England Under-21 side for the European Championships in May 2002.
He has been described as 'the new Gazza' due to his superb skill levels and ability to make something out of nothing. Some of the goals he has scored have been right out of the top drawer.
Was even on the verge of the full England squad for the World Cup as Sven Goran Eriksson searched for an answer to his problems on England's left.
Extremely highly-rated, the youngster is believed to number Sir Alex Ferguson among his growing band of admirers. One of the very best products of Rovers' excellent youth system.
By the start of the 2002/03 season, when Dunn was just 22-years-old, he had already played 133 games for the club.
Earned a call-up into the full England squad in September 2002 for the friendly with Portugal after Kieron Dyer was, in a shock move, forced to withdraw through injury.
