About me:
ABOUT ME
Ricky is a former professional footballer who made 439 first team appearances during his career which started at White Hart Lane as a Tottenham Hotspur apprentice in the early 1960s. Unable to break into the double winning Spurs side Ricky gained Football League experience at Watford, Bournemouth and Oxford United in addition to a successful period in the non-league scene with Barnet, Hereford United and Hastings.
**********************************************************************************************************************
Following his career in soccer Ricky built up a sizeable retail business - notably in association with Adidas, but maintained close connections with competitive sport and was part of a six-man partnership which owned the racehorse Earth Summit who memorably won the Grand National at Aintree on April 4th 1998. He maintains extremely close ties to the racing industry.
**********************************************************************************************************************
Ricky writes a weekly non-league column for the Daily Telegraph and co-presented 'Matchday with Motty' for BBC Radio Five Live with the legendary football commentator John Motson. He is also a regular BBC radio and conference television match summariser, notably alongside 24dash reporter, journalist and commentator Keith Hall.
**********************************************************************************************************************
His colourful career is perhaps best captured in his autobiography 'One Goal, One Horse' with his finest moment having passed into football folklore. On a quagmire of a pitch he was part of arguably the greatest FA Cup giantkilling side of all time when non-league Hereford United dumped First Division Newcastle United out of the competition by two goals to one on the 5th February 1972, in a 3rd Round replay.
**********************************************************************************************************************
BBC's 'Match of the Day' cameras captured Ronnie Radford's 35-yard 'Goal of the Century' as Hereford fought back to equalise after Malcolm Macdonald had put the Magpies ahead. However, it was Ricky who grabbed the winner in extra-time!
