William M Ritchie (born 1895) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dumbarton, Bury and Grimsby Town.[2]
His career was brought to an end in 1923 when he was implicated in a match fixing scandal from three years earlier when it was found Bury had accepted payments from Coventry City to prevent the latter's relegation, and Ritchie was banned for life along with several others.[3][4]
