George Dixon (Canadian football)
George Dixon (October 19, 1933 - August 6, 1990) was a professional Canadian football player and a Canadian Interuniversity Sport football coach.
Dixon starred as a running back for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, from to .〔http://www.justsportsstats.com/footballstatsindex.php?player_id=dixongeo001〕 While Dixon played in only 76 games during his injury-shortened, seven-year career, all with the Alouettes, he is remembered as one of their finest players. Dixon's jersey #28 is one of seven retired by the Alouettes, and he was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1974. In 2006, Dixon was voted to the Honour Roll of the CFL's Top 50 players of the league's modern era by Canadian sports network TSN. After his playing career ended, Dixon was the head coach of the Loyola College Warriors (now Concordia Stingers) Canadian college football team in the late 1960s-early 1970s.
== College and NFL career ==
Dixon was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1934, and was a graduate of the nearby University of Bridgeport, where he starred as a running back for the Purple Knights.
Following graduation, Dixon was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 9th round (97th pick) of the 1959 NFL Draft. His impressive 95 yard kickoff return for a touchdown on August 23, 1959, against the San Francisco 49ers in an exhibition game, was not enough to keep rookie head coach Vince Lombardi from cutting him. Dixon missed out on a chance to be part of one of the NFL's great dynasties, becoming a Canadian Football Hall of Fame member instead.
