Dean Richards, the former Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton and Wolves defender, has died at the age of 36.

After suffering dizzy spells and headaches, Richards was advised it would be harmful to his health to continue playing and hung up his boots in March 2005.

He had initially been diagnosed with an inner ear infection and underwent a scan for a brain tumour, which came back negative.

Richards played for England's Under-21s on four occasions but did not win any caps at senior level.

36 years old, very sad.

Wonder what the cause of death actually was.

Had a friend at school with similar problems, dizzy spells, headaches. had scans nothing showed up. One night suddenly collapsed and died, autopsy - brain tumour.

RIP

RIP.

As Matt says he was very good defender who could and should have played at a higher level.

RIP

From what I can remember of the games I saw him play he was a good player and as people have said 36 is no age.

Very sad

Assume it was a brain tumour although we won't know until after the autopsy

RIP

Anyone else find it spooky his chosen squad number was allways 36 at Spurs?

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2011, 09:25:31 PM »

RIP, Dean...

Worrying how many footballers are tending to go. As we've all said, 36 is no age.

R.I.P. Dean - 36 is far too young.
