Ian Rickman (born 24 March 1963) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.

Rickman, who was of a large build, arrived at Footscray from Preston. He spent three seasons with Footscray and put in his most notable performance in 1984 when he kicked six goals against North Melbourne at Arden Street.

Williamstown was his next destination and he went on to have a successful career with the VFA club, mostly as a half forward flanker and at full-forward. A dual premiership player, Rickman was a member of Williamstown's 1986 and 1990 Grand Final winning teams. He also twice won the VFA award for being the league's leading goal-kicker, now known as the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal, in 1989 after kicking 125 goals and then with 82 in 1992. Rickman was later named on a half forward flank in the official Williamstown 'Team of the Century'.

Ronald Walford Todd was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the Williamstown Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). Renowned for his high marking and goalkicking ability, Todd was considered as the logical successor to the legendary Gordon Coventry, but his controversial move to Williamstown, along with teammate and friend Des Fothergill, caused much bitterness at Collingwood for many years afterward. He holds the record for the most goals kicked in a VFA season (188), and his 23 goals in the 1939 VFL finals series stood as a record until it was broken by Gary Ablett Sr. in 1989.
