BBC Scotland’s “Sacked in the Morning” returns with another dose of football chat, welcoming Arsenal legend Lee Dixon to the studio this Friday. Hosts Craig Levein and Amy Irons explore what it takes to survive the high-pressure world of football management, from transfer sagas to on-field formations. No aspect of the beautiful game is off-limits.
Dixon, a fixture in Arsenal’s backline for over a decade, shares his unique perspective on the highs and lows of a career at the top of the sport. He speaks frankly about experiencing imposter syndrome, even amidst his many successes, and recounts a few choice altercations with the notoriously mercurial Dennis Bergkamp. It’s not all serious, though; Dixon also reminisces about some of his more unconventional victory celebrations, involving a certain chip shop.
“Sacked in the Morning” continues to strike that appealing balance between insightful football discussion and genuine camaraderie, so don’t miss the chance to hear from one of the game’s greats. Tune in to BBC Scotland at 10:30 PM GMT this Friday, May 23.
