Julian Dicks' stay lasted just one season – and he didn't even want to go in the first place. That's what he told in our , as he reflects on his reluctant 1993 departure from – the club where he made himself a legend. His move to Anfield was ultimately down to then Reds manager Graeme Souness... "I didn't actually want to go to Liverpool," explains, "but West Ham needed the money for a few new signings. As soon as I met Graeme, though, I knew that I wanted to play for him. He was a straight-talker. "Sadly, he resigned and Roy Evans took over – and we didn't get on. But it was amazing to play for such an iconic club. "He [Evans] just didn't seem to like me. He said I had weight issues, but the truth is he used to wait in the car park for me to arrive and then say, 'Julian, you're with the kids today'. I'd think, 'F**k that' and go straight home, so of course I wasn't in my best shape. "One day, he told me that had come in for me. I said, 'F**k off, I'm not going to Tottenham! I'm West Ham; I can't do that!'. A few weeks later, Jamie Redknapp said his old man [Harry Redknapp] wanted to sign me again and I told Liverpool I was going. I didn't want a pay-off; I just wanted to go where I felt at home."
