Former West Ham, Liverpool and Birmingham City defender Julian Dicks is this week's guest on the Proper Football Podcast and, just as on the pitch, he does not hold back.

Why did he and Frank McAvennie hitch a ride on a milk float during training? What made him chuck his boots at a young Frank Lampard? And what was it like in the "brutal" Birmingham City dressing room of the 1980s? He talks about kicking Paolo Di Canio, arguing with Billy Bonds and falling out with Roy Evans.

He also reveals which away ground was horrendous to play at and why he thinks he would find it easier to play football today.
