Reading and Chelsea Legend

Reading and Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon returns to Reading in February for a Q&A event at the Purple Turtle.

Dixon was top scorer for Reading three seasons running, including 32 goals in the 1982-83 season – a feat made more impressive as Reading were relegated that season.

In September 1982, Dixon scored four goals for Reading in an away game at Doncaster Rovers, but Reading lost the game 7-5.

Dixon joined Chelsea and went on to become their second top goalscorer of all time, before Frank Lampard overtook his 193 goal haul for the club.

He made eight appearances for England, scoring four goals.

The Q&A event takes place at the Purple Turtle on Sunday, February 8 (3pm start).

Dixon said: “I’m looking forward to returning to Reading and talking to any Reading and Chelsea fans who are there about my time at both clubs.”
