Julian Andrew Dicks (born 8 August 1968) is an English football manager and former player who is currently a coach at National League South club Chelmsford City. Playing from 1985 until 2002, he was a left back, notably in the Premier League for West Ham United and Liverpool. He was voted West Ham's player of the year four times between 1990 and 1997. He also played in the Football League for Birmingham City where he started his footballing career, ending it in 2002 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. Dicks had a reputation for aggressive behaviour and being one of the hardest players in history, which brought him to the attention of referees, the press and footballing authorities. He adopted the nickname of "The Terminator". He was a tough tackler, and due to his strong shot was in regular demand as a penalty and free-kick taker.
