Career

Dixon began his career at his home town club Trowbridge Town. In 1954 he joined First Division side Cardiff City, becoming the first Trowbridge player to ever sign for a Division One club, but struggled to force his way into the side, mainly due to the presence of Gordon Nutt, Mike Tiddy and Brian Walsh, scoring his only goal during a 2–1 defeat to Birmingham City in November 1955. After three years at Ninian Park, Dixon joined Newport County in 1957.

Finishing his professional career after one season with Northampton Town, he emigrated to Australia in 1963. He died in 2024 aged 89.
