+'''Dick Green''' was an [[octochamp]] in and the [[Series Winners|champion]] of [[Series 15]], and a participant in [[Championship of Champions IV]] and the [[Series 33|Supreme Championship]]. He was a mature student and former Met Office worker from Bracknell.
-He made his debut on Friday 13 May 1988, which was certainly unlucky for his opponent [[Chris Beith]], as Green ran out the {{score|51|16}} winner. Green won seven more games to return for the final rounds as #2 seed. In the quarter-finals, he beat [[Frances Rush]] {{score|75|65}} in a closely-fought game, and dispatched [[Gavin Rogers]] {{score|69|51}} in the semi-finals. In the [[episode 757|final]], he faced boy wonder and hot favourite [[Allan Saldanha]]. The game had its fair share of controversy as, in round 11, Saldanha had {{word|YOLKED}} wrongly disallowed. Green eventually won following a [[crucial conundrum]] to become the champion of series 15. Although Green would have won even if {{word|YOLKED}} had been allowed, Saldanha was awarded his own volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary, identical to those of Green's.
+He made his debut on Friday 13 May 1988, which was certainly unlucky for his opponent [[Chris Beith]], as Green ran out the {{score|51|16}} winner.

-Green was a favourite for [[Championship of Champions IV]], being an undefeated [[Xicount]] with 688 points, but in the first round, he was drawn against another series champion, [[Tony Vick]]. The lead changed hands several times, with Vick trying the invalid {{word|fangle {{x}}}} and Green returning the favour after being disallowed {{word|spacers {{x}}}} to Vick's valid {{word|SCRAPED}}. Inevitably, the game went to a crucial [[conundrum]], and Vick spotted that {{word|IFSTYMIED}} unscrambled to {{word|MYSTIFIED}} meaning that the Series 15 winner suffered his first ever defeat.
