Ian William Dickson (born Maxwelltown (now part of Dumfries), South-West Scotland, September 1902; died 1976) was a Scottish professional footballer whose played as a forward. He played for Queen of the South, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough. He was the grandfather of another Ian Dickson, the Australian television and radio personality.〔(Ian Dickson profile on "Queens Legends" on www.qosfc.com )〕 ==Queen of the South== Dickson also had spells at Maxwelltown United and Cheshaw Juniors. Dickson and Dave Halliday both played in the trial games that were arranged when the newly formed Queen of the South was looking for players in summer 1919.〔〔"The Queens" by Iain McCartney on Creedon Publications, 2004〕 After the four trial matches, Queen of the South's first ever game took place on 16 August 1919. Invitations were sent to local councillors and magistrates and the presence of Dumfries Town Band added to the sense of occasion. The opposition was Sanquhar side Nithsdale Wanderers and the challenge game ended 2–2. Among those who played in this first game was Dickson.〔〔 Halliday joined Queens in January 1920. With this being Queen's first season after formation their fixtures were challenge games and local cup competitions. This included the Dumfries Charity Cup played over three weekends in May. On 8 May, Queens thrashed Dumfries F.C. 7–1. A week later Queens beat Solway Star 4–0 in the semi-final before facing Dalbeattie Star in the final.〔〔 A then record crowd of 4500 (many watching from the grandstand roof and other high points) watched the game. An early Halliday shot went wide following good lead up work involving Dickson. However it was Dalbeattie's physical style of play which took the lead. Queens equalised through Willie McCall (later of Blackburn Rovers) before Halliday's efforts were successful. One Halliday shot hit the post, another missed by inches, before he put Queens ahead five minutes before half time. Connell scored Queens' third goal one minute into the second half before Halliday beat Borthwick to cross for McCall to bring up a 4–1 final score.〔〔 Season 1920–21 proceeded in a similar vein with a combination of challenge games and minor cup ties. The Potts Cup, the Southern Counties Challenge Cup and the Charity all ended up at Palmerston Park. The Scottish Qualifying Cup seen Queens make the semis.〔〔 *In the Qualifying Cup first round Creetown Volunteers were thumped 9–0. Whithorn were them similarly swatted away on the end of a 12–1 defeat (Dickson hit four). Six were then put past Mid-Annandale by Queens and then five against Solway Star F.C. A 0–0 draw against Johnstone came before a 1–0 Queens replay victory. Queen's cup run then ended with the defeat to East Fife.〔〔 * In the Challenge Cup Dickson's 23rd-minute goal opened the scoring in the final in wintry conditions played at Thornhill. After Gray of Queens knocked the Nithsdale Wanderers goalkeeper off his feet in the second half, around half a dozen unruly Wanderers' fans invaded the pitch brandishing flags and sticks. A shout of 'come on' to other fans was thankfully disregarded. Police intervened to remove the fans from the pitch. Unsporting tactics from Wanderers and a disputed penalty followed before Gray knocked the goalkeeper over again, sparking a similar crowd disruption as before. Dickson's goal proved to be the winner.〔 * In the Potts Cup Queens beat Stranraer 3–0 before a 2–1 replay victory in the final against Nithsdale Wanderers (the initial game was 2–2)〔 * In the Charity Cup final again Queens were the nemesis of Nithsdale Wanderers with a 3–1 victory to bring the season to an end〔 Dickson was transferred from Queens in January 1921 to Aston Villa. Jimmy McKinnell from Dalbeattie, Willie McCall and Tom Wylie were all sold to Blackburn Rovers at the same time and this combined with the sale of Ian Dickson to Aston Villa helped to fund Queens' purchase of Palmerston Park in 1921 for £1,500.〔 Dickson was replaced at Queens by Hughie Gallacher. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ian Dickson (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
