Richard Rushton
Richard Rushton, sometimes known as Dick Rushton, 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.
