When Dunfermline manager Bobby Ancell was on the look out for a replacement centre forward for Jimmy Millar who had been transferred to Rangers and after a trial Dickson was brought in for a cup-tie against Stenhousemuir.
Charlie Dickson was signed in January 1955 from Penicuik Athletic and made his debut later the same month against Stenhousemuir at Ochilview, where he scored twice in the Pars 3-0 victory. He made 340 appearances, scoring a quite remarkable 215 goals in the process. During his nine years with Dunfermline, he scored 11 hat-tricks, including a double hat-trick against St Mirren in December 1961.
Charlie scored the Pars second goal against Celtic in the 1961 Cup Final replay, after rounding the keeper and prodding the ball home into the empty net. He also scored five goals during the Pars European Cup Winners Cup run in 1961/1962.
In November 1964, Charlie was transferred to Queen of the South for £2,150. His last appearance in black and white came against Rangers in a 3-0 League Cup defeat two months previously. His last goal for the Pars was at the end of Season 1963/64 in a 1-1 draw against St Mirren.
Although not the most brilliant of footballers, thanks to his courage, goalscoring ability and boundless enthusiasm, Charlie D remains one the most popular players ever to grace East End Park. His tally of 215 goals is a record unlikely ever to be equalled.
Charlie played in 7 of the 1961 Cup games, missing only the semi-final replay against St Mirren, as a result of the injury picked up in the first game.
A big, strong bustling centre forward, Charlie could look awkward but he was quick, superb in the air, and always had an eye for goal. His motto was shoot on sight, and although that did lead to some spectacular failures, it also brought a number of glorious goals.
He is comfortably Dunfermline`s top goalscorer of all time, scoring a remarkable eleven hat-tricks, although his most important goal was the second against Celtic in the 1961 Scottish Cup Final.
In 1964 he was transferred to Queen of the South.
Charlie retired to Dunbar. He died on Friday 19th October 2013 after a short illness but it is unlikely that he will ever be forgotten at East End Park.
