INFO:Johnny Dixon was an inside-right. He spent his whole professional career at Aston Villa: 430 matches and 144 goals from 1946 to 1961. He's remembered by Aston Villa's supporters not only for his dedication to the team but also for his incredible performance as captain in the 1956-57 FA Cup final, when he assisted McParland with a perfect cross for the winning goal. Considered one of the best in his position at the time, he unfortunately was never called up for England.
Dixon was a hard-working and dynamic attacking player. He was gifted with good speed, class and outstanding ball control but also courage, determination and apparently unlimited energy. He rarely tried difficult things, always preferring to do the simpliest but most effective move. For example he'd rather pass the ball instead of trying a dribbling. He was a very reliable finalizer who scored at least 10 goals in most of his seasons at Aston Villa and even almost 30 in 1951-52. A fighter in the air, he was efficient inside the box, but he also liked to move across the field and play as additional winger. Doing so, he showed his fantastic passing ability or helped in the midfield when needed.
