#4 Richard Partridge
Patridge started off his career at Liverpool in 2001 and his time at the Merseyside club was hit by injuries. The following years, Liverpool loaned him out to Bristol Rovers and Coventry City for him to gain first-team experience. However, things didn’t work out well for him and he was released by the Reds at the end of the 2004-05 season.
The Irishman spent the next couple of years of his career at Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United respectively. Chester City secured his services for the next two seasons and he made 65 appearances for the club. His spell with The Seals was followed by a move to MK Dons and was loaned out to Kettering town and he then joined Stockport County.
In 2010, he moved to the Welsh Premier League side, The New Saints. A year later, he was forced to retire because of a knee injury. In 2012, he came back from retirement and played for Airbus UK Broughton for a season. Patridge represented Ireland at various youth levels and is the brother-in-law of former England striker Micheal Owen.
He played for 11 clubs, which includes three loan deals, during his 12-year long career without any transfer fee being paid for him. He is currently a part of the Liverpool U-21 staff as a Physiotherapist.
