Climbing the Ladder: Dixon and The Name Game

Houston?s Alex Dixon: What?s in a name?

Houston Dynamo Academy product Alex Dixon (above), a University of North Carolina alum, made his senior debut for the Dynamo last Saturday. The name may sound familiar to long time MLS fans, as a different player named Alex Dixon saw action for New York nearly a decade ago. The first Alex Dixon, a Panamanian forward, made three appearances for the then-Metrostars in the 2001 Copa Merconorte but didn?t see any regular-season action.

This is the fourth time in league history that two players have shared the same name.
