/ Lee Dixon / 03 August 2011 /

One of the most successful England right-backs of the last two decades and one of the very few players to have won league titles across three decades. Here's Lee Dixon.

For a decade and a half Arsenal's back four was considered one of the stingiest in club football under first George Graham and then Arsene Wenger. Throughout that period Lee Dixon was virtually ever-present at right-back, mastering the famous Arsenal off-side trap with his team-mates and supporting the likes of David Rocastle, Ray Parlour and later Robert Pires down the right flank.

Between 1988 and 2002 Dixon made 458 appearances for the Gunners, winning three league titles, the first of which was the famous 1989 triumph. Needing to beat Liverpool by two clear goals at Anfield on the last day of the season to clinch the title, they managed to do so courtesy of a last-gasp goal by Michael Thomas.

Dixon remains one of the very few players to have won three league titles over three decades, the last of which came in 2002. He also won three FA Cups, one League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup in 1993-4 - beating the all-star Parma side which included Faustino Asprilla, Tomas Brolin, Gianfranco Zola and Fernando Couto.

Dixon was capped 22 times and made just over 650 senior appearances before retiring in 2002, aged 38. He scored 35 goals from right-back, few better than this one.

He is the new voice of football on Betfair as well as a regular presence on the Match Of The Day 2 sofa, where he has made his name as one of the most incisive football analysts on our screens.
