Matthew Richards (born December 26, 1984 in Harlow, Essex) is an English footballer. A graduate of the Ipswich Town academy, Richards made his debut in the UEFA Cup match against Avenir Beggen aged just 17. He made his first England cap in the England U21 victory over Ukraine U21 in August 2004. Originally regarded as a left-back, he is now much more comfortable as a midfielder, either playing on the left or in the centre. Richards is often targeted by sections of the crowd, due to making mistakes at crucial moments. However he is greatly respected by the coaching staff at Ipswich Town due to his work rate in midfield and determination.
