Born in the village ofMorvant, just outsidePort of Spain, Nixon began his career in Trinidad playing forECM Motown before moving to Scotland in 1993, joiningDundee United. Impressive early form for the Tannadice Park side prompted then managerIvan Golac to declare he would one day be worth £20 million. Nixon later said that Golac's inflated valuation of him hampered his career.[1] He helped the club to win the1993–94 Scottish Cup, but left a year later for £200,000 after they were relegated from thePremier Division.[2] He spent the next eight years of his career in Swiss football, withFC Zürich,Yverdon-Sport FC andFC St. Gallen.
In 2003 Nixon returned to Trinidad after a trial withDallas Burn failed to lead to a contract. He joinedNorth East Stars, winning the league title in 2004, and finishing as top scorer. In September 2005, he was appointed as interim coach of the club.
