RIP Mike Dickson

Update: 2024-01-18

Description

Mike Dickson, the Daily Mail's long-serving tennis correspondent, has died suddenly at the age of 59.

Mike was in Melbourne covering the Australian Open for the Daily Mail with his usual gusto and good humour. But on Wednesday, we were given the most awful news imaginable.

James and George both knew Dicko, as he was to almost everyone, through working in tennis and have both separately tried to put into words what he meant to them.

This obituary from Jonathan McEvoy, who knew Dicko for far longer, is a fitting tribute: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-12975403/Mike-Dickson-Jonathan-McEvoy-tribute-friend-colleague-Mail-Sport-Australian-Open.html
