Paddy Dixon

Paddy Dixon (1923 to 20 August 2007) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a centre-back at senior level for the Meath county team. He became a regular member of the Meath senior team during the 1949 championship and went on to play a key role during a golden age for Meath football. In the course of his career he won one All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal in 1949, one Leinster Senior Football Championship medal in the same year and one National Football League medal in 1950-51, and he finished as an All-Ireland runner-up on one other occasion. His honours therefore make him one of the Meath players who shared in the county's successes at the end of the 1940s and the start of the 1950s, and he died on 20 August 2007.
