Jonathan James Dixon (born 16 January 1984 in Murcia, Spain) is a film and television Producer and Director, and a former professional footballer. He played as a striker.

Career

Dixon began his career as a trainee with Wycombe Wanderers, turning professional in August 2001. Following regular Reserve Team appearances during 2001–02, Dixon was given a squad number by Lawrie Sanchez at the beginning of season 2002–03 and made his debut, as a late substitute for Stuart Roberts against Northampton Town on 13 August 2002. Despite suffering a knee injury, he still managed to score 5 goals in 7 starts for the Blues, earning himself a contract through to 2005.

Due to a lack of opportunities to feature in the first team at Wycombe during the 2003–04 season, he joined Dr Martens Premier League Champions Crawley Town on loan in December 2003.

A similar story during the 2004–05 season saw Dixon go on loan to Aldershot Town in November 2004, where he scored 9 goals in 12 appearances. Due to the success of this loan period, Dixon returned to Wycombe and signed a one-year contract extension in June 2005 before rejoining the Shots on loan until the end of season in January 2006. It was thought that in June 2006 Dixon would sign permanently for Aldershot but following the arrival of Paul Lambert as manager he signed a further one-year contract with Wycombe. He was used mainly as a substitute by Lambert and played his final game for Wycombe in the 1–1 draw with League Champions Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final on 10 January 2007, replacing Tommy Mooney as a late substitute.
