Man Utd legend Giggs reveals why Arsenal great Lee Dixon was one of toughest opponents

Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has named Lee Dixon as the one of the most difficult opponents he faced during his illustrious playing career.

The Welshman came up against a host of world-class full-backs during his 14 years in the United first team, but it was the Arsenal right-back who troubled him the most.

“I often say Lee Dixon was one of the most difficult opponents because he was quickish, but also intelligent. He always got his distances right, which not all full-backs do, especially quick ones, because they always think that they can get out of jail,” Giggs told The Coaches' Voice.
