Still playing at the age of 40....former Charlton Athletic striker Chris Dickson on a career where he just wants to carry on scoring

Forward on refusing to be intimidated after joining a Premier League set-up at the Addicks, Marcus Bent telling him not to be sick on pre-season run and Kevin Lisbie helping him land two-year deal

“I’ve always loved scoring goals - you don’t get no better feeling on a football pitch. While I’m still doing that and I’m able to do that, it is what has kept me going.”

Chris Dickson is telling South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition why he is still playing at the age of 40.

And there is no talk of the veteran forward, who turns 41 in late December, hanging his shooting boots up yet.

Dickson is plying his trade for Cray Wanderers in the Isthmian Premier Division, their Flamingo Park home is off the A20, only a few minutes drive from the Addicks’ Sparrows Lane training ground.

Dickson was plucked out of non-league football by the Addicks in 2007. He signed for the south London club in March, while they were still a Premier League club, but could not play in first-team matches until the following campaign, by which point they had lost their top-flight status.
