Wow what a player Richie was when he was a younger player. Possibly an England player in the making before his terrible injury. He had 2 great feet and had great ball control. Still has dealings with football but in non league now. As manager of several different teams over the years.
Don't injuries always happen to the wrong players?! Cutting short a career that could have put him up there with the legends.... Arsenal could do with a few more like him!!
