Mark Dickson is a semi-professional footballer from Northern Ireland who most recently played for Crusaders F.C. of the Irish Premier League, for whom he scored the winning goal of the 2008/09 Irish Cup final.[1] Mark also scored the first goal of the 2009/10 County Antrim Shield final victory over Linfield.[2] 'Dicko' moved to Crusaders from Linfield after becoming disillusioned with being asked to play as a right winger rather than in his preferred centre forward position.
Prior to joining Linfield, he had a very successful four year spell at Larne, scoring the winning goal in the 2005 Irish Cup semi final against Ballymena United and featuring in the final against Portadown, a game Larne lost 5-1 after taking a first minute lead through Neil Ogden. He was released from Crusaders in the summer of 2010. Soon after being released from Crusaders he signed for close city rivals Donegal Celtic F.C. on a free transfer.[3]
