Richard Renwick (born 27 November 1942) was an English professional footballer who made over 390 appearances as a full back in the Football League, most notably for Aldershot and Brentford.

Playing career[edit]

Grimsby Town[edit]

Renwick began his career at Second Division strugglers Grimsby Town in 1962 and departed the club the following year, without making an appearance.[2]

Aldershot[edit]

In July 1963, Renwick dropped down to the Fourth Division to sign for Aldershot.[1] He was a near ever-present for his first five seasons at the club.[3] After making just seven appearances during the 1968–69 season, he departed the Shots in February 1969.[1][3] During his five and a half years at the Recreation Ground, Renwick made 231 appearances and scored four goals.[3]

Brentford[edit]

Renwick joined Fourth Division club Brentford for a £1,500 fee in February 1969.[4] He made 106 appearances in just over two seasons and departed Griffin Park after rejecting a new contract at the end of the 1970–71 season.[4] A hard player, teammate Jackie Graham later revealed Renwick "used to count how many stitches he'd put into people!".[5]

Stockport County[edit]

Renwick joined Fourth Division strugglers Stockport County in October 1971.[2] He made 32 appearances and scored one goal during his single season at Edgeley Park,[6] in which County finished second-from-bottom and won re-election to the Football League.[1]

Rochdale[edit]

Renwick moved up to the Third Division to sign for Rochdale in July 1972.[1] He made 41 appearances during the 1972–73 season, but fell out of favour in the following campaign and left the club at the end of the 1973–74 season.[1]

Darlington (loan)[edit]

Renwick returned to his native northeast to sign for Fourth Division club Darlington on loan in January 1974 and made 19 league appearances for the club.[1]

Personal life[edit]

In the 2000s, Renwick was living in the Burnley area.[5]
