Richards was moving through the league team by team alongside co-stars Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker.
When he was asked to give his opinion on newly promoted Leeds United, he revealed an unexpected relationship with manager Daniel Farke that left his co-hosts in stitches.
He said: “They play some really nice football, and they have got money to spend.
“I really like the manager, Daniel Farke… probably more because he rents my flat in Harrogate.”
The response triggered raucous reactions from Shearer and Lineker.
The latter even added an X-rated joke of his own, chiming in saying: “You don’t give a Farke about his football do you?”
Farke, 48, has been a familiar face in the upper tiers of English football for the better part of the past decade.

The German arrived as Norwich boss in 2017, leading them to two Championship titles.
However, he produced dismal returns in the Premier League that saw him endure a record 15 straight losses in the division before being sacked in late 2021.
He was appointed Leeds manager upon their relegation in 2023 following a brief spell managing in the Bundesliga.
He narrowly missed out on promotion in 2023-24, but a better campaign at the second time of asking saw the Yorkshire outfit top last season’s Championship table.
Richards, who started his career in the academy system at the club, added that he fancies them to stay up this season.
He said: “They’re gonna find it hard at times, but they have got enough quality to stay up.
“I am going to say they will just avoid relegation.”
Leeds are among the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League this season, alongside fellow new arrivals Burnley and Sunderland.
