Carl Matthew Dickinson (born March 31, 1987 in Swadlincote, Derbyshire) is an English football player.
He is a former Derby County academy player, who signed for Stoke City's academy in 2002.
Carl attended William Allitt school in Swadlincote, Derbyshire between 1998 and 2003. During his time there, he was a keen and vital member of the football team.
Ideally, he plays on the left of midfield or in defence, and is a very tall and physical player, who has consistently performed well during his time in the Stoke City academy and reserve teams.
Dickinson made his full first-team start against Sheffield United on April 1, 2004, at Britannia Stadium. His performance earned him a Man of the Match nomination.
Two days later, on April 3, he signed a professional contract with the club.
Dickinson was on loan at Icelandic club Víkingur until pre-season 2006/7, along with teammate Keith Thomas.
On October 20, 2006 Dickinson joined Blackpool on a month's loan. On November 9, it was announced that he would be staying with Blackpool for another month. This was extended to a third month on November 23.[1]
After returning to Stoke, Dickinson put in a series of impressive performances at left-back. His commitment and ability led to him becoming a firm favourite with the club's supporters.
