Personal life
Ritson served in the British Army during the Second World War.[2] His football career was ended by a broken leg, suffered during a training run at Leyton Stadium in December 1949, while rehabilitating without his doctor's knowledge after having broken the same leg three months earlier.[2] Gangrene set in and the leg was amputated in January 1950.[2]
