Dick Green.

Dick Green was a contestant from Series 15. He made his debut on Friday 13 May 1988, which was certainly unlucky for his opponent Chris Beith, as Dick ran out the 51-16 winner. Dick won seven more games to return for the final rounds as #2 seed. In the quarter-finals, he beat Frances Rush 75-65 in a closely-fought game, and dispatched Gavin Rogers 69-51 in the semi-finals. In the final, he faced boy wonder and hot favourite Allan Saldanha. The game had its fair share of controversy as, in round 11, Allan had YOLKED wrongly disallowed (for more detail, please see the Allan Saldanha article). Dick eventually won following a crucial conundrum to become the champion of series 15. Dick returned for Championship of Champions IV, but was defeated in the first round by Tony Vick. Dick returned to Countdown one last time in 1996 for the Supreme Championship, defeating Fiona Davies in the first round, but losing to the unbeaten Don Reid in the group semi-final.
