James Michael "Jim" Hicks (born 16 September 1960) is an English former professional footballer and coach. In December 2006 Hicks became senior executive head of coaching at the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA). He had a long association with Millwall FC's community department which included managing the club's affiliated female team, Millwall Lionesses.

Playing career

Hicks played Non-League football while completing his education, then made his Football League debut with Exeter City in 1983–84. After three appearances as a non–contract player,[1] he spent the following season with Oxford United without featuring in the first team.[2]

In the summer of 1985, Oxford sent Hicks, Gary Barnett and around £150,000 to Fulham in exchange for Ray Houghton. Over the next three seasons Hicks' whole–hearted displays in central defence won over the Fulham supporters, although other players were considered to be more talented.[3]

In 1989, Hicks played for Washington Stars in the American Soccer League.[4] He also played for Madison United Soccer Club in the United States.[5]

Coaching career

Hicks worked for Millwall's community scheme, which was established during the 1980s to rid the club of its negative associations with hooliganism and racism.[6] As manager of Millwall Lionesses, Hicks guided the club to an FA Women's Cup and FA Women's Premier League Cup double in 1997.[7] Under his leadership the Lionesses produced several England international players including Mary Phillip and Katie Chapman.

In 2008, Hicks obtained the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest football coaching award available in Europe.[8]
