Maximillian Nicholson (born 3 October 1971) is an English former professional footballer who played as a left winger.
[1] Born in Leeds, Nicholson began his career as a trainee with Doncaster Rovers and was given his professional debut in 1989 by former Scotland captain Billy Bremner.
[2] He was used mainly as a sub as it was difficult to dislodge Australia international Scott Chipperfield, but achieved something of a cult status amongst Wolves fans.
[4] Nicholson acted as a witness in the match fixing scandal of 2000 as, after being attacked with a hockey stick by the notorious Wilson Raj Perumal[5] along with fellow Woodlands player Ivica Raguz, two S League players, German goalkeeper Lutz Pfannenstiel and Australian defender Mirko Jurilj were jailed for alleged fixing of matches.
Nicholson had originally been arrested along with fellow British players from Geylang United, Billy Bone and Brian Bothwell.
