Career

edit

Dixon played for non-League side Audley United and Football League Third Division South club Northampton Town, before joining Port Vale, also of the Third Division South, in October 1946. His debut came on Christmas Day 1946, in a goalless draw at Aldershot. This was to be his only game for the club, however, as he was transferred to Witton Albion in March 1947.[2] He scored five goals in three games in what remained of the 1946–47 season.[3]
