Alexander Russell "Sanny" Dick (1894 – 1958) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back for Airdrieonians.
Installed as a first-team regular in defence in his second season (he initially played as a forward after joining from Armadale and featured less frequently), he missed only eight league matches across the four consecutive seasons where the Diamonds finished as runners-up in the Scottish Football League and also played in the 1924 Scottish Cup Final in which Airdrie defeated Hibernian[1] to claim their only major trophy. In 1927 he was advised to stop playing football for health reasons, and Jimmy Crapnell was brought in as a replacement; Dick had a brief spell with Dykehead in his home district after leaving Broomfield Park.[2][3]
