FORMER England and Chelsea footballer, Kerry Dixon, has been jailed for nine months after being found guilty of assaulting a man who called him “fatso”. Dixon, 53, denied punching and kicking the man during an altercation at a pub in May 2014. However, he was convicted following a trial after the assault at The Nags Head in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, was caught on CCTV.
Upon sentencing at Luton Crown Court, Judge Barbara Mensah described the attack as “shocking and sickening to watch”.
Mensah said Kerry, who also played for Millwall and Luton Town during his career, had acted in a “disproportionate, unnecessary and completely over the top” manner.
