Richard Deacon (26 June 1911 - 1986) was a Scottish-born footballer who played as an inside left for a number of clubs in the Football League during the 1930s.[1]
While his brother made over 150 appearances for Wolves, Dickie struggled to make any impact and managed just three first team games. He made his league debut on 7 March 1931 in a 0-1 defeat at Bury and played the following game, at home to Port Vale, where he scored in a 3-0 victory. His only other appearance for the club came the following month, a 1-1 draw with Bradford Park Avenue.
He joined West Ham United, but again only played three times for their first team, during the 1932-33 season. His brother John joined him at West Ham in 1934.[3] He soon moved to fellow London side Chelsea, where he also served as trainer after retiring from playing.
