Dick, one of the fiercest on the field, one of the nicest blokes off the field. My inner thigh still bears the memories of those terrible in-swingers you bowled. Nothing like a hot day with a dukes on an Appleby artificial. Always a great challenge followed by a cold one. RIP and condolences to Jo and family and the Appleby Team.

Rest well Richard. You were such a great competitor. I always felt fortunate to be on your team when you had a new "dukes" ball in your hand and the wind across your left shoulder, but I got more pleasure in watching the sixes you hit! You and your Dad Bill can now mastermind some more sporting successes together.
To Jo, Lynne, Jeff and your families, our thoughts, love and sympathies are with you.
