Duncan Ritchie (17 February 1886 – 21 February 1968) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside right for Hibernian,[1] Dumbarton,[2] Raith Rovers, Sheffield United and Derby County,[3] bookended by spells at non-league hometown club Renton.[4]
Having been part of Renton's surprise run in the 1906–07 Scottish Cup (beating St Bernard's then Dundee before going out to Queen's Park in the quarter-finals),[5] [6] alongside his cousin, the veteran international John L. Ritchie, as well as Paddy Travers, he signed for Hibs and won the minor East of Scotland Shield in 1908[7] but fell out of favour and spent two seasons on loan at lower-division Dumbarton.
His most productive spell was with Raith, which led him to be considered for an international cap – he played and scored in the 1912 Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match[8] – and brought him to the attention of English clubs, though after moving south of the border he appears to have made little impact in two Football League seasons.[9] He served with the Black Watch during World War I and was wounded in France in 1915.[10] [11]
