Richard Alan (Dickie) Brooks, born at Edgware, Middlesex on 14 June 1943, was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Somerset.
A lower-order right-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, Brooks won a Blue for cricket in 1967, and was then offered a contract with Somerset, the county having just parted company with its regular wicketkeeper Geoff Clayton. Brooks kept wicket tidily for Somerset for the whole of the 1968 season, but at the end of it he was offered a teaching post at Bradfield College and gave up the first-class game.[1]
