Luke Dimech

Sliema Wanderers

Born in Floriana, Malta, Dimech began his career playing for Sliema Wanderers. Luke's first season was the 1995–96 season and instantly gained silverware when the club won the Maltese Premier League. Luke spent seven seasons with the club and even managed establishing himself in the Maltese national team in 1999, in total Dimech made 133 appearances and scored on three occasions during his time with the club.

Shamrock Rovers

After many impressive displays Luke moved to Ireland to join Shamrock Rovers for one season, making his debut on 2 September 2002. He was sent off in his fourth appearance. He proceeded to make a total of 16 appearances, but after falling out of favour with the club, Luke left Dublin. He played in the 2002 FAI Cup Final.

Birkirkara

Dimech returned to Malta joining up with Birkirkara in 2003, and made 10 appearances with the club, and won the F.A Trophy.

Mansfield Town

Another good season in the Maltese League saw Dimech on the move again, this time he joined English side Mansfield Town in August 2003. Dimech initially signed a one-year deal with the club for the 2003–04 season, scoring once against Leyton Orient. The season finished in disappointment when Mansfield Town were beaten in the League Two play-off final on penalties to Huddersfield Town. Despite losing the play-off final Dimech signed a 1 year contract extension. Dimech's second season with Mansfield Town was quite indifferent in the early…

Malta

Dimech is a regular in the Maltese national team and to date has 78 caps with one goal. He began playing for Malta on 28 April 1999 when he made his debut against Iceland. When John Buttigieg took over the Maltese national team in 2009, there was apparently some sort of disagreement over Dimech's hairstyle, leading to Dimech being excluded from the squad. Later in the season he officially retired from the national team. In 2012, he came out of international retirement and joined the national team again.
