Mike Dixon

Mike Dixon Date of Birth: Mar 14, 1937

Although born in Willesden in January 1937, Mike was brought up in Luton signing on professional terms at Kenilworth Road in 1957. Although a regular goalscorer for the reserves, Mike managed only three League games up front for the Hatters but his career was hampered by a fractured kneecap sustained at a Combination game at Southampton.

Moving to Coventry in 1961, Mike had scored 12 goals in 18 starts for the Bantams when a change of manager, with Jimmy Hill taking over the hot seat, and a further injury meant his days at Highfield Road were numbered.

A succession of non-League clubs then followed, including Cambridge United and Stevenage, before Mike settled in Dunstable and drew some consolation from son Kerry’s later career in the game.

Mike sadly passed away in November 2022.
