Former Portsmouth defender Carl Dickinson bids to keep spirits high with Tony Pulis impression on Twitter

We’ve even had Pompey defender Christian Burgess demonstrating how to wash your hands to the tune of Stacey’s Mom, by Fountains of Wayne.

Now former Blues left-back Carl Dickinson is bidding to trend on Twitter with his impersonation of former Stoke and Pompey boss Tony Pulis.

And he’s a doing well on both fronts as he does his bit to keep spirits high during these testing times.

Dickinson has had more than 25,000 views on his one-minute clip, while his impression of his one-time manager is getting plenty seals of approval from the footballing world.

Former Fratton Park team-mate Liam Walker is among those to give the Yeovil defender the thumbs up.

Meanwhile, another team-mate during his time at PO4, Liam Lawrence, was one of those to put the 32-year-old up for the challenge.

Since seeing the video, Lawrence said: ‘This guy is comedy gold.... we want more we want more we want more’.

Tweeting the video, Dickinson said: ’Well the lads asked for it! Mr Tony Pulis is here!!

‘Hope you all enjoy it if you think it’s good or not!

‘If you’re stuck in the house hopefully this brings a little smile to your faces. Have a good day everyone!’

Dickinson made 45 appearances for Pompey during two loans spells at the club.

He played 39 times during a loan spell from Stoke during the 2010-11 Championship season.

Meanwhile, six games were played in the 2012-13 League One campaign.

Pulis was Blues boss for 10 months in 2010.
