Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Started playing Leicestershire local football with Wigston Fields FC, but
began his football career with non-league Oakham United FC, where he was
spotted by Norwich City FC, whom he signed for on 24 March 1988.
Without playing any games, Dublin joined Cambridge United FC on 2 August
1988 on a free transfer. He spent one game on loan at Barnet FC in 1988. His 52
Cambridge goals in 156 league appearances
caught the attention of Manchester United FC, where he signed on 7 August
1992 for £1 million. Alas, only two goals in twelve Premier
League appearances (eight of them as a substitute) in two years ensured
that Dublin's footballing agility lay elsewhere. It was Coventry City FC
who signed Dublin on 9 September 1994 for £2 million. A return of 61
goals in 145 league appearances was much more successful and Aston
Villa FC picked up his signature for £5.75 million on 6 November 1998.
He had a loan period with Millwall FC in 2002, playing five, scoring
twice. He was freed by Villa after 145 league appearances and 48
goals in the summer of 2004, whereupon his hometown club, Leicester
City FC signed him. After finding his position under threat, and playing
games as a defender, Dublin and Leicester ended the contract on 30 January
2006 after 58 league appearances and five goals. And it was
onto The Celtic FC until the end of the season, playing eleven,
scoring once. On 20 September 2006, Norwich City FC announced the
arrival of Dublin for a season-long stay. He remained for the following
season, eventually retiring from football on 4 May 2008. He left Norwich
playing 70 league matches, scoring twelve. In total, 613 league
outings, scoring 183 times. |
