Rip Dean,god bless.
Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur was saddened to hear of the death of our former player Dean Richards, who passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 36 after a long-term battle with serious illness.
Dean started his career at Bradford City and then moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers before establishing himself in the Premier League with Southampton.
The centre-half joined the Club from Southampton in September 2001 and made an immediate impact by scoring on his Spurs debut against Manchester United at White Hart Lane.
In total the former England Under-21 defender went on to play 81 games in our colours and scored four goals before being forced to retire at the age of 30 on medical grounds.
There will be a tribute paid to the defender ahead of our fixture next Sunday at Molineux against his former club Wolves.
We extend our sincere condolences to the family of Dean Richards at this very sad time.
This is not posted to wind anyone up, it was that Dean Richards was the last Spurs player to captain the side in a game at Maine Road... these are the details of the game.... I would guess it is where the picture of the late Marc Vivien-Foe and Dean Richards was taken from.....
I was at this game (I loved going to Maine Road, not just cos we had a decent record, but because it was a proper old fashioned football ground)....
