fair enough didnt realise he was a kolpak. although having played for nz its gonna be 2 years before he can switch allegiance to to england( and I havent heard anything to suggest he is going to) so its a bit of a stretch saying hes british qualified. non-fed trained at best.

I dont know whether he qualifies as a kolpak, but he was intending to apply for a British passport when he first signed for us, whether thats gone through or not after the visa foul up I dont know.
Anyway the British qualified is a bit misleading anyway since thats not what the SL criteria is.
Either way I think we can all agree there are too many foreign players in SL and that clubs need to improve their academies.

Pretty rich considering the bloke that's carried your pack for the last few years came through our academy, and was actually signed from a Leeds club, as Leeds couldn't realise the talent of the future GB captain

So has Harrison Hansen.'"
Richards does indeed hold a British passport, both of his parents are Irish.

Northern Ireland I believe, although that's Irish in my eyes. He would qualify for GB&I either way just as Brian Carney did.

Maybe we didn't recognise his talent when he was a kid - he was a classic late developer - but when he was the best forward in the country you decided to treat him like cr@p and he came to us. I know which would be the biggest feckk up out of the two and it wasn't made by Leeds, don't you agree?

| One of my best friends is a Bulls supporter. His daughter who is around 9 years old is apparently absolutely devastated that her favourite player has left. Yes, there have been tears and tantrums.
She also hates Orford already!

As a certain poster said on RA&B nows the time for the parent of any kid distraught by Deacs departure to now confirm there is no santa claus and the tooth fairy is fiction as it'd be a good day to bury bad news.

He obviously got sick of only being Champion for one year at a time.
