Player #527 for Aston Villa, Richard Thomas Edwards known as Dick Edwards played as a defender for the club.
Between 1967-68 and 1969-70 Dick made 77 appearances and scored twice.
Dick was born in Kirkby-in-Ashfield on 20 November 1942 and he made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 16 March 1968 aged 25.
Villa had signed Dick from Mansfield Town for £30,000 in March 1968 and in total he played for Villa for 3 season.
Dick recalled:
“The biggest club I ever played for was Aston Villa. I didn’t play centre-half until I came to Villa, Tommy [Cummings] signed me as a right-back though I had played in ten different positions. The only position I was never picked was left-wing.”
Edwards made his final appearance for Villa on Saturday, 17 January 1970 aged 27 before moving on to Torquay United in June 1970 for a fee of £8,000 aged 27.
Dick played under Villa managers Dick Taylor, Tommy Cummings, Tommy Docherty and Vic Crowe.
