LONDON (Reuters) - Four months in jail, 10 years of drug abuse, two bankruptcies and hundreds of thousands of pounds blown on gambling are not the figures Kerry Dixon wants to be remembered for but the former Chelsea and England striker is determined to rebuild his life and reputation.

Dixon notched four goals in his eight England appearances and as Chelsea's third-highest scorer with 193 he is still worshipped by fans who have a deep fondness for those who loyally served in the years before Roman Abramovich's takeover.
