Richard "Rickie" Lambert (born 16 February 1982 in Fazakerley) is an English football player who currently plays for Bristol Rovers. He signed for Bristol Rovers from Rochdale on transfer deadline day, August 31, 2006 for £200,000 on a three year contract until 2009. Lambert currently plays as striker, but can also play as an attacking midfielder.

Lambert's career started at Blackpool, although he made little impact for the Seasiders, only making three substitute appearances. He then moved to Macclesfield Town as a free signing. Rickie made 49 appearances there netting 10 times.

In June 2002, he was sold for a record fee of £300,000 to Stockport County. Rickie made 118 appearances for County and scored 19 times. But after falling out of the manager's plans Lambert then moved to Spotland on a free transfer.

Rickie made 64 appearances for the Dale scoring an impressive 28 League goals before moving to Bristol Rovers in 2006.
