Career
society
Richardson attended the Riverston Independent Day School in Lee, London. He started playing soccer at Parkwood Primary School, where his talent showed from an early age. He later went to West Ham United , where he first trained with the pros. Before he could celebrate his first appearance, he moved to Manchester United in 2001 . In his first season at Manchester United, he played for the reserves. In the first team he got the shirt number 42, but without being used.
In the summer of 2002 he became a full member of the professional team. He made his debut on October 23, 2002 when he came on as a substitute for Olympiacos in the Champions League . He scored his first goal in the League Cup against Leicester City on November 5, 2002. In total, he played nine games for the first team (1 goal) that season.
At the beginning of the 2003/04 season he got the shirt number 23, which should express his higher esteem. However, he only made three appearances, all in the Champions League or in the FA Cup . In the 2004/05 season he had played nine games (1 goal) by the middle of the season, but Sir Alex Ferguson decided to loan him out to allow him more match practice. On January 29, 2005 he was awarded to West Bromwich Albion. Under Bryan Robson , Richardson became a regular in central midfield. He scored three goals in twelve games.
He returned to Manchester at the beginning of the 2005/06 season in hopes of becoming a regular. He made his breakthrough when he represented the injured Gabriel Heinze as a left-back. He then returned to midfield, where he played some good games. He played 36 times in that season and scored six goals. In the 2006/07 season he got his assignments mostly in the League Cup or the FA Cup. In July 2007, Richardson moved to Sunderland AFC for £ 5.5million (€ 8.2million) . There he signed a four-year contract.
On August 31, 2012, Richardson moved to Fulham FC , where he signed a three-year contract until June 30, 2015.
After relegation with Fulham, Richardson moved to Aston Villa for the 2014/15 season .
National team
He won his first game with the English U-21 team on February 8, 2005. It was a friendly against the Dutch U21s.
After some convincing performances for West Bromwich Albion , he was invited to the United States for the English national team at the end of the 2004/05 season . In his first international match for England, in which he started from the start, he scored two goals against the USA straight away , one from a free kick. In the following game against Colombia he was substituted on. He later returned to the U21s, where he was used in the two playoffs for the U-21 European Championship against France , which England lost 3-2 on the aggregate.
In qualifying for the 2006 World Cup , he played two more internationals, against Wales in Cardiff and against Austria at Old Trafford . However, he was not nominated for the 2006 World Cup. In the 2006/07 season he was reappointed by the new national coach Steve McClaren and came to some other assignments for England . In total, he played eight U-21 internationals for England (no goal) and eight A internationals (2 goals).
