Richard "Dicky"/"Dickie" Evison Lockwood (11 November 1867 in Crigglestone – 10 November 1915 in Leeds) was a rugby union and professional rugby league footballer of the 1880s, and 1890s playing representative level rugby union (RU) for England from 1887 to 1894, and was captain in January and February 1894, and Yorkshire, and at club level for Dewsbury, and Heckmondwike, as a Three-quarter, and playing club level rugby league (RL) for Heckmondwike, and Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 33), as a Forward, e.g. Front row, Back row, or Lock. Prior to 3 September 1898, Dewsbury was a rugby union club, and prior to the 1896–97 Northern Rugby Football Union season, Heckmondwike was also a rugby union club.
Dicky Lockwood was born on 11 November 1867 in Crigglestone. Dicky Lockwood's marriage was registered during January→March 1889 in Dewsbury district. Dicky Lockwood was the Landlord of The Queen Hotel, Westgate, Heckmondwike.
Lockwood made his international debut on Saturday 8 January 1887 in Llanelli against Wales in the 1887 Home Nations Championship. The match was to have been held at Stradey Park, which would have been that ground's first international rugby union match. The game was arranged for 8 January and a temporary stand was erected to allow a seating area so the club could charge higher ticket prices; but on the day the English team refused to play on the ground as the pitch was frozen. The adjacent cricket ground was in better condition, so the match was moved there along with the entire crowd, many members of which were extremely unhappy as they lost their seating area. Of the 14 matches he played for his national side he was on the winning side on 8 occasions. He played his final match for England on Saturday 3 February 1894 at Rectory Field, Blackheath in the England vs Ireland match.
