About Dexter Blackstock

Dexter Anthony Titus Blackstock is a former professional footballer who played as a striker. He played most notably for Queens Park Rangers and Nottingham Forest. Although Blackstock had featured regularly under Burley, Southampton's purchase of Bradley Wright-Phillips meant that Blackstock had more competition for a role in Southampton's first team. Blackstock was given the number 32 shirt for the 2006–07 season, he was first choice striker throughout the season and played with a number of different partners, including Kevin Gallen, Paul Furlong and Marc Nygaard. He came second in the player of the season awards, and his goal against Preston won goal of the season.
