Mark Earl Dennis (born 2 May 1961) is an English former footballer who played at left back for Birmingham City, Southampton, Queens Park Rangers and Crystal Palace. He was capped three times for England under-21s.[1][2]
Dennis was born in Streatham, London.[1] As a player, he was a First Division runner-up with Southampton in 1983–84,[3] and won promotion from the Second Division in 1979–80.[4] His "no nonsense attitude and tough tackling" earned him the nickname Psycho, long before this was given to Stuart Pearce;[5] Dennis was sent off 12 times in his career.[1]
He became manager of Fleet Town in September 2002 alongside Adrian Aymes,[6] but left the club at the end of the 2002–03 season.[7] He spent time as assistant manager at Eastleigh, was a presenter on 107.8 Radio Hampshire,[5] and acted as director of football at Winchester City.[8]
