The son of a Black British father and a Spanish mother, Richards was taken by his mother at an early age to Laguardia, Álava and lived there until the age of 11 when they moved to Nottingham.[2] Richards was taken on as an apprentice at County and signed professional for them in November 1974.[3] He made 399 league appearances for County, his sole Football League club.[4]

Richards left County at the age of 29 and continued playing semi-professional football for Boston United, Oakham United and Corby Town.[5] He died in 2001 from a rare strain of pneumonia.[2]
