Lee is a former England international defender and a core member of Arsenal's famously impenetrable defence of the '80s and '90s. Although most associated with Arsenal, Lee was a childhood Manchester City fan and played for a number of clubs before progressing to top-flight football. He started with an apprenticeship at Burnley before moving to Chester City, then to Bury and Stoke City, before being signed by Arsenal boss George Graham in January 1988. Dixon made his debut for Arsenal against Luton Town in February 1988. His impressive statistics as an Arsenal player tallied up to 458 league appearances with 25 goals--not bad for a full-back! Both he and Tony Adams retired from football after Arsenal's 2002 double-winning season. Only Seaman and Keown then remained at the club from the defensive group Dixon had become associated with at Arsenal. He was also named in the PFA Team of the Year twice, for the seasons 1989-90 and 1990-91. He had a fruitful international career, winning 22 caps, with his last appearance for England being in 1999 at Wembley against France. Since his playing retirement, Dixon has worked as a football pundit and columnist. He began his television career working for the BBC, primarily on their Match of the Day and Football Focus programmes, but moved to ITV Sport in July 2012. He is also known for his charitable work, joining Lawrence Dallaglio in a sponsored bike ride for Sport Relief which raised over £986,000 for the charity. Alongside his media work, Lee also has a number of business interests including a restaurant and involvement in a property company advising footballers on their property investments. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Useful Sports
