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 after joining from Armadale (he initially played as a forward, 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 to claim the 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 Airdrieonians.[1][2]
