Richard Smith
| Place of birth | Halliwell |
| Position | Inside left |
'Dick' Smith, a canny inside forward should be a United 'legend' - four goals in a Manchester 'derby' for Newton Heath and six in a League match (subsequently declared 'void' and replayed). Dick spent six seasons over two spells with The Heathens. A loyal player, who despite his goal scoring prowess was happy to fill in any position without hesitation.
