Lee Richardson (born 12 March 1969) is a former professional footballer and currently manager of Chesterfield. He is the younger brother of Nick Richardson, who briefly played alongside him for Halifax.

[edit] Playing career

Richardson, an energetic midfield player, began his career at his local club Halifax Town, before enjoying spells at a number of clubs throughout Britain. He had particularly successful seasons at Aberdeen and Oldham Athletic in the mid nineties, and ended his playing career at Chesterfield.

Whilst at Aberdeen he was part of a team which finished second to Rangers in all three domestic competitions in 1992–93[1]

[edit] Management career

Richardson was appointed as Chesterfield manager in April, following a spell as caretaker.[2] He was unable to stop them from being relegated to League Two. In April 2008, with Chesterfield lying 8th in League Two, Richardson was linked with the vacant managerial position at League One side Huddersfield Town.[3]
