Alan "Bull" Richardson was a player highly adept at winning the hard ball and using it effectively during games.

"Bull" made his league debut in the opening round of the 1959 season. In a dominant era for the football club "Bull" was able to secure a spot in the senior side as a ruck-rover which culminated in playing a key role in the club securing the 1967 premiership.

Alan played 103 senior games for the club and a further 7 games for South Melbourne in 1969-70 (110 total games).

After finishing his career in Victoria, Alan moved to Tasmania and played as captain-coach for East Devonport. It was in Tasmania that son Matthew was born and played junior and senior football for the Devonport Football Club.
