Richard Logan (born 24 May 1969 in Barnsley) is an English retired professional footballer. He began his career as a midfielder before moving to centre half. He made 228 appearances in the Football League, scoring 20 times.
Logan began his career in non-league football with local side Worsbrough Bridge Athletic before moving first to Belper Town and then to Gainsborough Trinity whilst also working as a bricklayer, an occupation that would later earn him the nickname of 'Hod'.
He moved into the professional football ranks when Neil Warnock signed him for Huddersfield Town in November 1993. He quickly made an impact with Huddersfield and marked his first season by scoring Town's goal in the 1994 Football League Trophy Final at Wembley; they lost the final 3–1 on penalties to Swansea City.
In the summer of 1995, Warnock left for Plymouth Argyle and in the October returned to Huddersfield to secure the services of Logan for £20,000. Logan remained with Argyle until the summer of 1998 when he returned north to join Scunthorpe United. He remained with the Iron for two seasons before being released following Scunthorpe's relegation at the end of the 1999–2000 season.
Following his release by Scunthorpe United, Logan agreed a three-year contract to join Lincoln City in July 2000. He appeared in Lincoln's first five games of the 2000–01 season before sustaining an ankle injury in the 1–1 away draw with Hull City on 28 August 2000 which sidelined him for a month. Returning to fitness, Logan made a return as a substitute in the 2–0 home defeat to Mansfield Town on 30 September 2000 before suffering a prolapsed disc in his back. The injury required surgery and would keep Logan out of the first team picture for fourteen months.
