Victor Richards (3 September 1911 — 20 June 1983) was an Australian rugby union international.
Educated at Randwick Boys High School, Richards received his lifelong nickname of "Shirts" during his schoolboy years, coined on account of the fact his father ran a men's mercery business.
[1] Richards, a Coogee junior, was a halfback with considerable speed off the mark, whose career was beset by injuries.
He earned his first call up for the 1934 Bledisloe Cup matches, but didn't make the XV until the 1936 tour of New Zealand, debuting against the All Blacks in Wellington.
[2] He was on the abandoned 1939–40 tour of Britain with the Wallabies and retired in 1940 on doctor's advice due to a chronic throat ailment.
