Lewis Richards (12 September 1861 – 30 November 1918) was a Welsh amateur footballer who played for Old Carthusians in its 1881 FA Cup Final win.
[6] He played a key part in the third goal, as his shot deflected off team-mate Alexander Tod to close out the scoring.
[7] Richards starred in a 7–1 win over Barnes in the following season's first round, scoring once, hitting the woodwork, and creating the scrimmage that led to the first goal.
However he missed the tie against the Royal Engineers in the third round, with the O.C.s fielding a considerably under-strength side, and the Sappers won 2–0.
[13][14] He married Gertrude Elizabeth Grantham on 28 November 1899 at St Michael's Church in Westminster, and the couple had three daughters and two sons.
