CareerMcRitchie was a St George Dragons prop forward who played four seasons with the club between 1942-1945. A Brighton-Le-Sands junior, McRitchie and his younger brother Doug McRitchie, both debuted for St George Dragons in 1942 although, Doug was a tall winger and Bill was a massive prop. They both played together in the 1942 Grand Final, but McRitchie's career was cut short in 1945 after his ear lobe was torn off in a scrum during a match against Newtown on 28 July 1945 at Henson Park. After spending the next 22 weeks in hospital, McRitchie was forced to retire from rugby league for good.[1] McRitchie died on 25 March 1990, aged 73. He was cremated at Woronora Cemetery 3 days later.[2] References1. ^Alan Whiticker/Glen Hudson: Encyclopedia of Rugby League Players. 1995 ({{ISBN|1875169571}}) {{DEFAULTSORT:McRitchie, Bill}}2. ^Sydney Morning Herald: Death Notice 27/3/1990 7 : 1917 births|1990 deaths|St. George Dragons players|Australian rugby league players|Rugby league props|Date of birth missing|Rugby league players from Sydney |
