Tribute to Sir Richie Richardson by Sports Minister Hon. Daryll Matthew
“A Tribute to Sir Richie Richardson”
To Sir Richie Richardson, a name so grand, A titan who graced both sea and land, Bat in hand, head held high,With every stroke, he touched the sky.
From the pitches of Antigua to cricket’s grand stage, Your presence, Sir Richie, transcended age, You led with calm, with style, with grace,In cricket’s book, you etched your place.
Under that broad-brimmed hat, so cool, so true, You faced the fire, the world watching you, When fast balls came, you stood your ground, A warrior’s heart in every pound.
Captain, mentor, legend, and friend, Your leadership made the game transcend, You took the West Indies to higher height, A beacon of hope, a Caribbean light.
But more than runs, and centuries grand, You were a humble, noble man, Respected on field, adored oH too,A gentleman in all you’d do.
The youth today still chant your name, Inspired by your passion, your love for the game, For Richie, you showed us what could be, With hard work, heart, and dignity.
So as we pay tribute, we stand and say, You gave us pride in every way,Sir Richie Richardson, forever a star, In cricket’s heaven, you shine afar.
The boundaries you broke, the dreams you grew, We thank you, Sir Richie, for all you do, Your legacy lives, it will never fall,For you, Sir Richie, gave it all.
