Douglas Charles Dick (born 9 July 1868 in Kirktonholm – 24 June 1940 in Kilmarnock) was a Scottish footballer who played as a striker. Dick was a regular in the Liverpool team during the 1893–94 season. He played 11 games during the season scoring twice. Before joining Liverpool he played for Rangers and Morton.[1]

Career

Dick signed for Morton in August 1891, before moving to Rangers the following year. He made 2 league appearances and scored 1 goal in the 1892–93 season.[2] He moved back to Morton before the end of the season. He made 2 league appearances in the 1893–94 season for Morton. The first was on 16 September and the second on 30 September, a game in which he got into a fight with John McPherson of Cowlairs, and both players left the pitch of their own accord, without being ordered to by the referee.[3] Soon after, Dick signed for Third Lanarck and made 1 appearance, on 14 October 1893.[2][3] Dick actually signed for Liverpool the day before this match, but was illegible to play until 20 October.[2] He made his debut on 28 October against Woolwich Arsenal and went to make a further 10 league appearances for Liverpool, scoring 2 goals.[1] At the end of the 1893–94 season, Dick moved back to Morton, but did not play until the 1895–96 season, in which he made 2 appearances.[2]

After retiring, Dick was director of Kilmarnock for 10 years and was also chairman of the club in 1931 and 1932. He was also head of a motor company, Dick Brothers (Motors) Ltd, and died on 24 June 1940 at the age of 71.[4]
