Career

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]
