Dicksie lays down spot kick challenge for Nobes

Julian Dicks threw down the gauntlet this weekend by insisting that he could still beat Mark Noble in a penalty shootout competition.

The two Hammers are both well-known for their accuracy from 12 yards with current penalty taker Noble's record being equally as strong as that of former spot kick supremo Dicks, who scored 35 of his 39 penalties for West Ham during his two spells at the club in the 1980s and 1990s.

Likewise current midfielder Noble - who scored an incredible 18 consecutive spot kicks before missing against Tottenham on the opening day of the 2014/15 season - is just as deadly from 12 yards. Although not as deadly as the club's new Coaching Assistant, according to Dicks himself!

Posing on Saturday in reply to a message from a supporter asking if they'd practised together yet, Dicks replied: "No need to - I'd win" - before posting a thumbs-up emoji.
