Can’t thank Eric Beard enough for giving me this opportunity. A dream come true to be able to ask questions to an Arsenal legend like Dixon. Also, Lee’s reaction to hearing my name is priceless haha!
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon answers Ulysse Pasquier’s questions for A Football Report
AFR Senior Writer Ulysse Pasquier had the opportunity to ask former England and Arsenal full back and BBC football pundit Lee Dixon questions about Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, the transfer market, Ian Holloway, and the Premier League as a whole. He didn’t answer our question about whether Balotelli is a great footballer or the greatest footballer ever, but we’ll let it slide.
Aside from his established career as a footballer and now a pundit, Lee Dixon is also a script and storyline contributor for I AM PLAYR, the first-ever point-of-view online football game. After testing out the game, AFR decided to team up with Mr. Dixon and I AM PLAYR. It’s a creative, somewhat addicting take on the life of a young professional footballer coming through the ranks in England with hopes of being the next great thing. Alongside the gameplay, the characters and vivacious first person videos truly make the game a unique experience. We’re not sure it knocks Football Manager off its perch just yet, but it is free. So why not have a go and join us?

Like Liverpool in Istanbul, The Podcast Makes A Comeback! iTunes / Soundcloud / RSS
After a two-month period of soul-searching and not having nearly enough time for weekly hour-long recording sessions, the A Football Report podcast is back with a new, fresh format. The podcast, now hoping to be about 25 minutes in length, will focus heavily on interacting with you via Facebook, Twitter, and email. On this podcast Ulysse Pasquier, Oliver Sparrow, and Eric Beard talk about the importance of the Europa League, Manchester United’s fantastic season so far, Arsenal’s not so fantastic end to their season and recent change in ownership, and the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
