Christopher "Chris" Dickson is an English footballer of Ghanaian and Jamaican heritage.
Dickson started his career at Erith & Belvedere before moving to Dulwich Hamlet in the summer of 2006. He scored 31 goals in 35 games for Dulwich in the 2006-07 season. Dickson signed for Charlton Athletic on 12 March 2007 from Dulwich Hamlet for £35,000, signing a two-and-a-half year deal after scoring twice in a reserve-team game for Charlton.[1] As he was signed outside the transfer window, he was prevented from making a competitive appearance for Charlton, although he maintained his healthy scoring record for the reserve-team. He eventually made his debut for Charlton against Swindon Town in the League Cup in August 2007.
Dickson, encouraged by a team mate, was signed on loan by Crewe Alexandra in August 2007, where he played three games.
Crewe declined an option to renew his loan, and he joined Gillingham on a month's loan in September 2007.[5] He made his debut in a 4–0 away defeat to Nottingham Forest on 22 September 2007. On October 9, 2007, he scored a hat-trick in his first full game for Gillingham in the Football League Trophy, a 4–3 victory over Luton Town, making him the first Gillingham player to score a hat-trick since March 2001. Four days later he scored the first league goal of his career, netting the opener in Gillingham's 1-1 draw with Millwall. As of 8 December 2007, he had scored 11 goals in 13 games for Gillingham.
