Blackburn striker Paul Dickov believes he has emerged a stronger person after the false accusations of sexual assault which blighted the end of his spell with Sunday´s FA Cup opponents Leicester.Dickov, together with Frank Sinclair and Keith Gillespie, was arrested in the Spanish resort of La Manga and briefly imprisoned after the allegations by three women, which turned out to be entirely fictitious.The experience was still traumatic for all three players but the Scottish striker said: "It´s something that unfortunately may stick in people´s minds but it happened, we have been completely exonerated, and if anything it makes you a stronger person, a stronger personality, and makes you realise what´s important in life."
