Richard Rushton

Richard Rushton (18 September 1902 – 1981) was an English footballer who made 62 appearances in the Football League playing for Lincoln City, Barnsley, Bury and Swindon Town. He played as a wing half or centre half.

Rushton began his career playing non-league football for Bloxwich Strollers and Willenhall Swifts in his native Staffordshire before joining Lincoln City. After a little more than a season, he joined Sheffield Wednesday, but never represented them in senior competition. He then spent a short spell with Barnsley and returned to non-league with Wombwell and Connah's Quay & Shotton, with whom he won the 1928–29 Welsh Cup, defeating Cardiff City 3–0 in the final. A return to the Football League with Bury and Swindon Town preceded the end of his career back in non-league with Wellington Town. Provided by Wikipedia
