For the man nick-named the Terminator, a selection on this list was merely a formality. The Bristol-born hard man was famed for his tough tackling, but also his cultured left peg which often saw him called upon to take free-kicks and penalties. In particular, the 1992-93 season was an eventful one for Dicks, picking up 3 red cards and several more bookings, which saw him miss large parts of the season, and lose the West Ham captaincy, but still was part of the Hammers promotion winning campaign of that season. In total, the four-time West Ham player of the year was sent off 5 times in his West Ham career, and booked on a further 21 occasions before succumbing to injury problems in 1999, and ending a West Ham career in which he played 315 games, and scored an impressive 64 goals.
