Over the past decade he has presented live or delayed coverage of every major Cup Final in England and Scotland covering over 800 matches. When Chelsea met Leeds United in November 2000, Richard presided over the 500th live Premier League match on Sky Sports. |  | Richard joined Sky as one of three original presenters in April 1991 after a spell with BSB and eight years in terrestrial television with TV-am, C4 and the BBC. His career began in print journalism, at the Wolverhampton Express & Star followed by the famous Hayters Sports Agency in Fleet Street.
His move into television came with TV-am in 1983, following several years at Liverpool's City Radio and Manchester's Piccadilly Radio. He grabbed the public's attention in 1992, at the launch of the Premier League, with the dream role of anchorman for all of Sky's live coverage.
Richard was also host for more than 100 episodes of the long-running discussion show, the Footballers' Football Show, and co-hosted The Boot Room, with Andy Gray for the opening programmes of the original series. Away from football he has presented a range of other sports for Sky including the 1997 Ryder Cup. His longest live period in front of the camera came in November '96 when, for over 18 hours, he hosted England's World Cup match with Georgia followed by four world title fights in ‘Judgement Night’ which included Evander Holyfield's first victory over Mike Tyson. |
