NBL EXPERIENCE
Neil Richardson made his NBL debut with the Canberra Cannons on 24/2/1979. He scored seven points in his first game.
During the league’s first season, Richardson appeared in 19 games, averaging 2.8 points for the Canberra Cannons.
The team were led by Cal Stamp (23.8 ppg), who was one of three imports on the Cannons roster, the other two being Herb McEachin (23.8 ppg) and Jerry Lee (8.9 ppg). Canberra finished the season with a equal record to Nunawading (13 wins and 5 losses) but would finish +2 points in their head-to-head matchups (1-1), propelling them into the Grand Final.
To crown the first champions of the national league, the first and second team’s would play off in a single game Grand Final clash. This saw St Kilda (1st) defeating Canberra (2nd), 94–93, to become the league’s first champions. Cal Stamp led Canberra in scoring with 32 points while his St Kilda counterpart Larry Sengstock finished the game with a career-high 33 points.
Neil Richardson played two seasons the Canberra Cannons. He averaged 3.5 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists in 41 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
