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 . . .
9. No. 8: Keith Gallick
I was fortunate to play a season or two with Keith before he retired - certainly wasn't at his 1999 pomp, but he was still as huge. Strong carrier with the touch of acceleration and aggression that the top No. 8s need. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
10. SCRUM-HALF: Andrew Semple
Probably the most consistent player I played with. A seriously sharp pass, accurate kicking game and a real eye for a gap. Rarely performed below a 7/8 out of 10 each week. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
11. OUT-HALF: Stephen Smyth
Unfortunately didn't get to play with him at his blistering best, but still saw plenty of glimpses of his talent. Loved an inside/outside show and go and set high standards on the pitch. Superb. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
12. WINGER: Simon Logue
Quick, deceptively strong and a real rugby brain. Could make a mug out of the best players in the AIL with his trickery and footwork. A naturally talented player. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
