Paul Edward Aimson (3 August 1943 – 9 January, 2008) was an English footballer.

Career

Born in Macclesfield, Aimson started his career with Manchester City, making his League debut in a 4–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers on 9 December, 1961.cite book |last=James |first=Gary |title=Manchester City - The Complete Record |publisher=Breedon |location=Derby |date=2006 |id=ISBN 1-85983-512-0p391.] At this time Aimson was a centre-half, but he made only one further first team appearance in the position, four months later. More than a year passed before his next senior appearance, by which time he had converted to the position of striker. He made 17 appearances in the 1963–64 season, scoring six goals. He joined York City for £1,000 in July 1964. In his first season at the club, Aimson scored 26 goals as York gained promotion to the Third Division.cite web

Aimson joined Bury for £10,000 in March 1966. He had short spells with Bradford City and Huddersfield Town, before he returned to York City in August 1969 for £8,000.

Aimson again scored 26 goals for York City, in the 1970–71 season, as the team again gained promotion. He scored a last-minute header against Southampton in a third round FA Cup match, which gave York a 3–3 draw and so earning a replay. He scored what was believed to be the fastest recorded York City goal, striking nine and a half seconds into a match against Torquay United.

Aimson was signed by Bournemouth for £12,000 in March 1973. He then moved to Colchester United for £8,000 in August 1973. He retired from football a year later due to an injury.

He died of a heart attack in a hospital near his home in Christchurch on 9 January 2008.cite web
