As some people may have seen on social media, there has been some very sad news that Tricky Dickie Danson has passed away.
Danson replaced George Norris as second team manager in 1991 having previously managed Lancaster City. Over the following 30 years at Morecambe FC Dickie would undertake various roles at the club. He was the Assistant Manager to Player Manager Jim Harvey when the team gained promotion in 1995 to the conference, and was subsequently heavily involved with the clubs youth development programme that produced so many great players in the side that won promotion to the EFL. Latterly he was engaged in implementing the clubs EPPP academy programme/structures before becoming chief scout and matchday greeter. Condolences to all of his family, and many friends
Hopefully the club can appropriately commemorate Dickies contribution to the Shrimps. I think it would be fitting if they named the whole academy programme after him given the impact he has had on it. An incredible servant to Morecambe FC, and football locally.
