Peter "Pedro" Richards (11 November 1956 – 23 December 2001) was an English footballer who played in defence for Notts County.
The son of a Black British father and a Spanish mother, Richards was taken by his mother at an early age to Laguardia, Álava and lived there until the age of 11 when they moved to Nottingham.[2] Richards was taken on as an apprentice at County and signed professional for them in November 1974.[3] He made 399 league appearances for County, his sole Football League club.[4] He was a home crowd favorite particularly because of his sure tackling and consistency.
Richards left County at the age of 29 and continued playing semi-professional football for Boston United, Oakham United, Corby Town[5] and Arnold Town.[6] He died in 2001 from a rare strain of pneumonia.[2]
His son Jordan is also a footballer.[7]
