Julian Dicks
Julian Andrew Dicks (born 8 August 1968), is an English former professional footballer, manager and former professional golfer.
As a player he was a defender from 1985 to 2002, notably in the Premier League for West Ham United and Liverpool. He also played in the Football League for Birmingham City before ending his career in Non-league football with Canvey Island. He became manager of Wivenhoe Town in 2009, before moving to Grays Athletic later that year. He was capped by both the England U21 and England B sides. He was known as a "hard man" (his nickname was "The Terminator") and tough tackler in possession of a cultured left foot and a fierce shot in regular demand as a penalty and free-kick taker. He scored 10 goals for West Ham in the 1995–96 season, which is the best return for a defender in the Premier League. He was voted West Ham's player of the year four times between 1990 and 1997.

Famous quotes containing the word julian:
“The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, The very rich are different from you and me.” And how someone had said to Julian, “Yes, they have more money.””
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
