Dickson Paul Etuhu (born 8 June 1982 in Kano) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays for Swedish AIK in Allsvenskan. His younger brother Kelvin is also a footballer. He grew up in Peckham, south London, but then, the family moved to Manchester for Dickson to pursue his professional ambitions with City. Dickson played international football for the Nigerian national football team.
Etuhu signed for Preston North End from Manchester City in 2002 for £300,000. He had started just 11 league games for City. He was very much a bit-part player during Preston's successful season of 2004–2005, when the Whites reached the play-off final. Despite his side losing to West Ham United, he attracted the attention of Premiership clubs Everton and West Brom.
Norwich City signed him during the January transfer window for £450,000 after a loan deal initially brought him to the club. His form began to improve towards the end of the season and in the early stages of the 2006–07 campaign.
Etuhu scored his first goal for Norwich in a 2–0 win against Torquay United in a League Cup match on 23 August 2006, and got his first league goal for the club in a 3–3 draw at Southend United on 12 September 2006. On 21 October 2006 he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Cardiff at Carrow Road to help his new manager Peter Grant win his first home game after replacing Nigel Worthington.
