I recall when he first came on the scene. He looked to be a phenomenal prospect besides being the first player to use the eff word live on TV. Then he just seem to fade away. Mid you his bank account didn't.

Knees have gone.

Clint Dempsey broke him years ago. They had a face to face knock up and Dempsey showed him to be scared. Richards was never the same after.

not sure I'm with you. He joined city's academy at a young age years before city had money, and they were probably still in the lower leagues too. He then moved to villa where he spent about 5 years.  I dont think anyone can say his moves were money orientated, and neither did he ever move to a club above his station

And on another note, I too thought he was a fantastic prospect, and they way England dropped him was scandalous imo. He was right to be angry about it
