Over those years he's played with, and coached, some of the greatest players in the club's recent history so we've asked him to select his 'Best 15' from the players he played alongside and he's come up with quite a team. In fact, it's quite a squad from Richy! Have a look and see if you agree with his selections . . .
13. INSIDE CENTRE: David Funston
A strong, aggressive centre. Always loved the physical side of things but popped up with lots of important tries. Probably over-relied on him to make my tackles for a few seasons too! Another leader. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
14. OUTSIDE CENTRE: Chris Barber
For a couple of seasons, Barbs was unplayable. Everything he touched resulted in a line break or try. Quick, strong, athletic, and an excellent defender too. Hampered by serious shoulder problems unfortunately. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
15. WINGER: Peter Henderson
Not in his usual full back position, but Hendo deserves a shout. Quick, athletic and superb timing coming into the line, he scored tries for fun at Junior level and proved an important team mate in the AIL. Solid boot too. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
16. FULL BACK: Ian Orr
Ian played a big role in bringing me through the ranks. Experienced, calm, versatile and unbelievable under a high ball. Always felt safe with him patrolling the back field and a good story teller off it! Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
