Career
Richardson, a half back from Beverley, had two stints in the VFL. He started out at Fitzroy but could only manage two appearances. He switched clubs during the 1915 VFL season but then had to sit out of league football for two years, as Essendon went into a war imposed recess. He resumed at Essendon in 1918 and was one of only two players from his club to appear in all 14 rounds.
