Dion Dublin

Dion Dublin is one of England’s most loved footballers after being given legendary status at so many of his former clubs – from helping Cambridge move up the old fourth to the second division, to scoring on his Manchester United debut, to winning four England caps while at Coventry City to being the joint top scorer in the Premier League while at Aston Villa.

Since retiring from professional football in 2008 Dion has built a successful media career as a football pundit for the BBC, Sky and ESPN. He can currently be seen presenting Late Kick Off for BBC1 East and also be heard on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Aside from his love of football Dion is extremely passionate about his music. He has invented a unique musical instrument called The Dube – a percussion instrument which has been endorsed by Courtney Pine and has been used by bands such as Feeder and The Maccabees. He also manages a band, “The Establishment”, and is an accomplished Saxophonist. He has a particular interest in Jazz music and his Dube was recently seen at The London Jazz Festival.
