All-singing, all-dancing player
Charlton striker Chris Dickson, currently on loan to Millwall, has show-business aspirations.
"I went to The Brits Performing Arts School in Croydon and was in the same year as Leona Lewis, who won the X Factor last year," he said.
"Her win was an inspiration to me. It convinced me nothing would stop me from doing what I wanted to do.
"Amy Winehouse and Craig David went to The Brits School before me. I got two A-levels in performing arts there.
"We did singing, dancing and acting. I had to sing songs from the musicals, and also did some R'n'B stuf f, but it's not something I talk about much, in case people think I'm soft.
"Going into the music business is definitely something I'll think about once I've finished playing. Simon Cowell looks pretty scary on TV, but he's not as scary as my manager at Charlton, Alan Pardew."
