Richard Midgley (born 7 July 1983 in Burgess Hill, England) is a retired British professional basketball player who finished his career at the age of 26.
His best moment of the season came in the first-round game of the NCAA tournament against North Carolina State, when he sank a game-winning three-pointer with 3.9 seconds left in the overtime to give the eight-seeded Cal Bears a dramatic 76–74 win.
Midgley played alongside Leon Powe,[1] tournament MVP and draftee to NBA franchise Boston Celtics.
In 2006 Midgley was recruited out of Cal to Spanish LEB1 side Tenerife, but suffered from tendinitis of the knee, which hampered his progress at the club.
He was officially released from his contract on 13 December 2007, and signed for league rivals Everton Tigers a couple of days later.
