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 . . .
21. SUB: Richard Peoples
Another it was hard to leave out. On his day, he was capable of winning matches on his own. Super player. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
22. SUB: Ryan Campbell
'Rhino' was quite a sight at top speed and capable of breaking any defensive line. Again, unlucky to miss out on the starting 15. Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
23. PROP: David 'Igor' Witherow
The 'old man' of the team, who wasn't much older than the likes of myself. A club stalwart and a seriously tough competitor. Put fear into opposition front rows with his infamous grunting in the scrums! Photo: Photo: Derry Journal
