Career

[edit source]

Richards, a Welsh schoolboy international,[2] began his career with Tottenham Hotspur but was unable to break into the club's first team and left in 1932 having made no appearances. He joined Cardiff City and was handed his professional debut in October 1932 in a match against Luton Town in which Cardiff suffered an 8–1 defeat. He remained with the club until the end of the season but made no further appearances before being released.[1]

In November 1933, he signed for Irish side Dundalk as a replacement for Gordon McDiarmuid. Virtually ever present for the side, he was a losing finalist on three occasions in three different competitions during two seasons. His performances led to a call up to the League of Ireland XI in 1935 where he played against a Welsh League XI. He signed for Dundee in 1935 where he spent three seasons before following manager Billy McCandless to Newport County in 1938. In his first season, he helped the side win the Third Division South title before the outbreak of World War II brought an end to his professional career. During wartime, he played for Lovell's Athletic.[2]
