Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has spoken of the "massive impact" made at Bloomfield Road by on-loan striker Paul Dickov.The 35-year-old, who arrived at Blackpool from Manchester City at the end of January, has scored three goals in his first two matches for the Tangerines.

Grayson told the club's official website: "When people have played at the highest level like Paul has, they are there for a reason.

"Not just their ability, but their all-round game and their all-round attitude to football, to training and in the dressing room.

"Paul has settled in really well with the rest of the players and his footballing ability speaks for itself - he has made a massive impact.

"The way he took his two goals on Saturday just showed the class that he's got. We know that Paul's got a lot of energy, he's got a lot of legs still left in the game and he's not looking to retire at the end of the season."
