Richardson was born in Newcastle upon Tyne where he played football for Montagu and North Fenham Boys club. He joined Everton as a schoolboy in 1978 and turned professional in 1980. A versatile midfielder, the young Richardson often had to be content with deputising for the likes of Paul Bracewell, Peter Reid and Kevin Sheedy. However, he still carved out a semi-regular place, and played in the Everton teams that lost the 1984 League Cup Final to Liverpool after a replay and won the FA Cup in 1984. He won a First Division winner's medal the following year. He made 113 appearances for the Toffees, scoring 16 goals.
Richardson attended Gonzaga University, where he played college baseball for the Bulldogs from 2001-2002. Richardson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Texas Rangers in 2002. He made his MLB debut against Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins, going 2 for 4. Richardson appeared in four games for the Rangers in 2009, but was released by the club at the end of the season.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim signed Richardson to a minor league contract with an invite to spring training on January 14, 2011. He played with the AAA Salt Lake Bees.
Kevin Scott Richardson (born October 3, 1971) is an American singer, model, actor, and composer, best known as a member of the Backstreet Boys. Richardson was inducted into Kentucky Music Hall of Fame along with his cousin and bandmate Brian Littrell on April 10, 2015.

As a youth, he was a chess club member and acted in school plays such as "Bye, Bye Birdie" at his school in Kentucky, Estill County High School. He was also a football captain.
In Florida, he worked as a cast member in Walt Disney World. He was a backstage tour guide and costume characters, most notably as Aladdin and one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There he also met his future wife Kristin Willits, who was playing the character of Belle from "Beauty and the Beast." He worked at Walt Disney World until he joined the Backstreet Boys in 1993.
