Former player whose career was ended by training ground tackle?

in General Charlton
Did a former Addick have his career ended by his own teammate? There was a question about training ground injuries on Reddit and it reminded me of something... Have I imagined this? Am I mixing up Matt Homes and Gordon Watson or something?

    Simon Webster was 'done' by Julian Dicks upon joining West Ham

    Matty Holmes got done by Muscat at Wolves, while Gordon Watson was fine until he played for Bradford I think?

    Don't know of any Charlton player done by a team-mate at Sparrows Lane?

    I was gutted for Webo having got his move to the Hampsters to have his career finished by Dicks. Webo was an uncompromising centre half who gave 100% for the cause every game and had one hell of a shot on him which I can personally vouch for but that is another story. A leader of men by example and ideally suited to wear the armband.

    Don't know the facts of the training ground incident in question but I wouldn't be surprised if it was down to Dicks' desire to remain 'The' hard man at his club and show the new incumbent who was boss.

    If I remember correctly , it was to do with the captaincy. Webster was earmarked to take the armband and dicks took exception.

    Am I right that Webster never even played for West Ham?
    Anyone remember his goal v Bristol City?

    I remember that while at Upton Park, he had a real bad game, and the crowd started giving him some flack, which didnt go down too well with him so he started screaming and shouting at us.

    When I was working a few years back Webbo was working as a physio in the gym that was in the building I worked at.

    Saw Webbo in the gym, a couple of times. Dicks really did make a mess of his leg.

    Dicks was a thug.

    That Webster last minute winner v Bristol City was one hell of a volley.

    Was at the Bradford match that Kevin Gray did Watson. Turned up late after being refused parking in a Mosque. We missed the tackle, but remember seeing the ambulance wait for about 15 mins whilst they stabilised his leg. Everyone said it was bad. Waddle was superb, whilst a fat fuck berated Simon Francis for being black because he had a suntan.

    That didn't end Deano's career!

    Nope, but it ended Todd's with us!

    Don't think he played another game.
