Pacy wide man born in Edmonton, Middlesex who joined Margate in the summer of 1967 and became a regular in the reserve team during the 1967/68 season. Dennis also made two first team appearances. Both of them were as a substitute, the first in a 3-2 Kent Senior Cup defeat at Ashford on 24.1.68 and the other on 20.3.68 during a 3-3 draw at Hastings in the Kent Floodlight Cup. At the time of his debut Dennis was aged 15 years, five months and 28 days, almost certainly making him the youngest player ever to appear for Margate's first team.

Dennis also played once for the first team during the 1968/69 campaign, appearing against Sheppey in a Kent Floodlight Cup tie on 2.12.68. In addition he had a trial at West Ham during the season, playing several games for their 'A' team, and also played for the Kent Youth team.

During the 1969/70 campaign Dennis made four further first team appearances (one as sub) playing on the left wing.

He then made a final first team appearance during the 1970/71 season when he played in a Kent Floodlight Cup tie at Gravesend on 10.11.70.

Dennis was still living locally in 2007.
