Lee Dixon has announced that he will be retiring after todays game... 
Well, he will be missed. He is part of the legendary defence of the George Graham era, with over 400 games for us. He signed for us from Stoke City for £320,000-ish? Steve Bould joined from the same club a few months later (or earlier, my mind is dulled by the alcohol intake of the last week....!)
He played 21 times for England, scoring once against Ireland, in 1992.
He said, 'My knee and ankle arent strong enough for top-level football anymore. I've known it for a while but I needed someone to tell me."
We'll miss you Dicko!
Favourite Dixon memories?
Well perversely I now look back fondly on that own goal agaisnt Coventry in 1992...!
But he was always so consistently excellent that no one game really stands out, and he was very unsung.
Nice one Lee, you've been top man for 14 years.
