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, this enabling him to operate as a racing tipster and pundit via the Beat the Bookie website.
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.com 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!
