slimjim1690 4,534 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Billy didn't fuck around when coming for a ball, leg straight out at head height, would decapitate any forward stupid enough to challenge him. RIP Mabaws are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertwb 8 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Very sad news, watched him play many times in the great Rangers teams of the 60's, would have played many times for Scotland if Bill brown hadn't been the man in possession at that time. A real legend rest in peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minstral 5,375 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Sad news, and Billy played in the best ever Rangers team that i seen. Billy was left footed, and had a clean white lace in his left boot for every game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condolances to family & friends Exactly the same team for my first game - against Dundee United when they played in black and white stripes. I can't even remember if we had a reserve goalie Billy Ritchie just seemed to be a permanent fixture. We've had some great goalies down the years and although he probably wasn't the best of them he remains one of my all time favourites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
