[edit] "Richmond Cricketers" football team is a modern invention

The name Richmond Cricketers is a name made up during recent years, possibly by Graeme Atkinson for his book "Everything You Wanted To Know About Australian Rules", published in 1982. If you read the early history of the game you will see that there was no champion team in 1858, and in the following few years there was no ladder, no trophy, no league or organisation, just a number of groups of men playing against each other, the most important of which was Melbourne FC, which framed the original rules in 1859. One of these groups went under the name "Richmond" and in the 1920s, HCA Harrison claimed to have captained them in the early days. Sometime in the early 1860s, Richmond disappears from newspaper reports as a senior team and it wasn't until the present club was founded in 1885 that Richmond FC's history commences. I believe that during recent times, someone has labelled the original group "Richmond Cricketers" to distinguish them from the current club. Respected football historians such as Blainey, Mancini, Hibbins, Hess, Stewart, Turner and Sandercock etc. do not mention a Richmond Cricketers team. This section should have been left as originally written. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.101.141.161 (talk) 07:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC).
