Australian Football

A powerful, strong marking player, Jim Richardson was without doubt one of the greatest centre half backs produced in the ACT. A member of Eastlake premiership sides in 1972, 1976 and 1978, Richardson was also a regular ACT representative player at a time when the standard of the team's performances was improving steadily. In 1999 he was selected on a half back flank in the official 'ACT Legends' team which was chosen to commemorate 75 years of organised Australian football in the nation's capital.
