Dickson, what is the oddest thing you have witnessed on a football pitch?
(Ammar Dungarwalla)
A fox! It was a fox at the Cottage against Wolves. You never see that – a fox around where so many people are. You never really see them in public but it came on the pitch!
Who’s the best midfielder you have played with in your career? (Ryhs Lightning)
Eyal Berkovic. I’ve played with some midfielders that people will say are better than him but for me he was definitely the best.
I was at the Blackpool game when you scored a terrific goal in the last minute. You wheeled away to celebrate and gestured to the home fans. Were you getting some stick because you were an ex- Preston player? (fulhamsnumber12)
Yes, I was! It was a tough game and they played well against us. I wanted to quieten them down a bit!
What city did you enjoy staying at the most on our European adventure? (North London White)
Rome was the best city. Hamburg was also good but Wolfsburg wasn’t!
What did you do to entertain yourself on that long coach journey to Hamburg? (North London White)
Movies, movies and more movies! Everyone was just bantering at the back and talking about everything really. We stopped off for a bit too and stretched our legs in the traffic. The traffic actually helped us because we’ve got a few big lads and it was good to stretch for a bit.
Dickson, who was your Super Eagle hero when you were a kid? (Addison on October)
Jay-Jay Okocha.
How do you keep your hair looking so fresh during games? (David Yip)
Does my hair look fresh? I do my hair quite a bit and I cut it a lot because I don’t like it getting too long. I get it done every couple of weeks but you’re supposed to only do it every couple of months. I’m not growing it longer and it’ll be like this the whole time now.
It’s a few years away but when you retire from professional football, what does the future hold for you? (fulhamfc.com)
I’m not sure where I want to live yet. I definitely want to have a place in England but I’m not sure that’s where I want to live. What I do depends on where I will live.
I definitely want to have a house in Ghana. It’s beautiful and one of the best countries in Africa as it has a great infrastructure. It’s done properly with the roads, buildings, police and laws. I also want to have a place in the States. I want to be moving about but I’m not too sure yet.
What are your five favourite songs of all time? (Stridey 15)
You can’t ask me that. Make that one up for me, it’s too tough. Michael Jackson, Bob Marley and....I really don’t know because I’m bad with songs.
Okay then, who were your three favourite artists when you were a kid? (fulhamfc.com)
Michael Jackson, Bob Marley...and you can make the other one up.
Kylie. (fulhamfc.com)
Kylie? What? Not Kylie though! No one will believe you anyway!
Did you know dogs can’t look up? Tell us something you know about dogs. (Reply by You!)
Dogs can’t look up? I didn’t know that. I’ve got three dogs and they’re all the same breed.
I don’t know anything like that about dogs...apart from don’t try climbing over my gate!
Dickson, I would like to know, why do you wear your jeans so low and don’t you ever feel the need to pull them up? (Denise @ Motspur Park Reception)
Never! I’m always going to wear my jeans low. A lot of people wear them low – Clint and a few others. Mine are low and will always be low – they’re comfortable there and I’m not Simon Cowell!
You’re in terrific physical condition. Do you ever allow yourself a cheeky pie or something after games? (James Alexander Tizzard)
I eat rubbish all the time!
Apparently you bought a fan some fish and chips after a game? (fulhamfc.com)
Yeah I did! I stopped off at the place near the stadium [chippy on Fulham High Street] after a game and there was a fan in there. I stopped and got some food and I liked it! I’m lucky though because I don’t carry the weight.
What’s your favourite snack then? (fulhamfc.com)
Fox’s biscuits. Mmm, I love Fox's biscuits!
How often does your name get spelt ‘Dixon’ on invoices, speculative car insurance and junk mail?
All the time, but not on car insurance. It happens quite a lot actually.
Who would win in a fight between a bear and a tiger? (You!)
A bear 100%. As soon as the bear grabs hold of the Tiger it’s finished. A bear is just too strong.
But not too slow? (fulhamfc.com)
It doesn’t matter. You’ve got to remember...I’m telling you now...if a bear grabs onto that Tiger it’s finished. Have you seen those claws?!
Achilles heel...(fulhamfc.com)
Achilles heel! Do you think a bear cares what an Achilles heel is?!
Dickson, I know you are a father – how hard is it to combine family life with being a professional footballer? (carrickflora)
It’s easy. When you have a baby you love your baby so much you just do it. It puts everything into perspective. I get up every morning at six and I have to have him from six until quarter past eight. I love that time – just him and me. I love that father and son moment.
It was horrible during World Cup as he was doing new things and that was a difficult moment for me. Thank God for Skype as I got to see him every morning. That helped every day and he was only seven or eight months old then. Those moments kept me going and I’ve got a job that demands a lot from me and it is hard.
Playing in a World Cup Finals – did the reality of competing on such a stage live up to your expectations despite Nigeria falling short? (PhilR)
The whole World Cup thing for me...it was a dream to play at a World Cup but the stuff that went on put a downer on it. It spoilt it for me but I was very grateful to have that chance to play in a World Cup.
Hi Dickson, what do you think about racism in modern football – do you still ‘feel’ it or do you think the situation has improved? (Simon Abitante)
It’s changed and it had to change. Nowadays most of the best players in the Premier League are from all over the world and all the initiatives have helped. I’ve been through racism in the lower leagues and I’ve played in England for over ten years so I’ve seen the transition.
I’ve not experienced it for a long time now and I hope that other players don’t and it keeps going the same way. It used to happen at certain stadiums and you could feel it but you don’t experience that anymore. You feel part of it and part of the team and the true love from the fans.
