David Richardson (born 11 March 1932) was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back.[1]

Richardson joined Aston Villa in 1976 as Youth Development Officer.

In 1980 Richardson joined Leicester City as Youth Team Manager, unwittingly bringing paedophile, Ted Langford, from his old club to become a scout for Leicester.[2] When both returned to Villa, Richardson secured schoolboy player Steve Froggatt from Leicester.[3]
