===Internet Virals=== |

In 2010 Anthony wrote ''Sky Sports News Funeral''<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMqfLADC_20</ref><ref>http://www.sport.co.uk/features/Football/1366/Sky_Sports_News_Funeral_Behind_the_Scenes.aspx</ref>, a eulogy for the passing of [[Sky Sports News]] from [[Freeview]]. |

He then wrote the ''Fosters Ashes Advert''<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3evE7s2LOu8</ref>, a parody of the [[Foster's Lager|Foster's lager]] commercial, to celebrate the [[England cricket team|England cricket team's]] win over [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] in the [[Ashes series 2010-2011|2nd Test of the Ashes]]. Some elements of the Australian and British press believed it to be a genuine Foster's commercial<ref>http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport-old/cricket-world-cup/fosters-ad-bags-australian-ashes-cricket-team/story-fn67x93d-1225967551427</ref><ref>http://cricket.standard.co.uk/2010/12/fosters-advert-kicks-the-australian-cricket-team-when-theyre-down.html</ref>. The [[BBC]] then commissioned him to make a follow-up after the final match of the series<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/clips/p00d54jk/spout_england_win_the_ashes/</ref>. |

In 2011, to mark the retirement of former [[Wales national football team|Welsh]] international footballer [[Robbie Savage]], Richardson wrote the viral hoax'' Robbie Savage Baby Scan''<ref>http://www.footballfancast.com/2011/05/football-blogs/robbie-savage-baby-scan</ref>, in which a Brazilian couple discover the image of Savage's face on their [[ultrasound]] scan. |
